Good afternoon all,

The above link has a couple of good pictures in re WWI.

The FN pistol sure could use some WD-40 or basic machine oil.

Hello to all :D; more..................................

Arrival of the American General J.G. Pershing.

General Pershing, Commander of the American Expeditionary Force, arrived with his Staff to Liverpool on June 8, 1917 on board the "White Star" liner Baltic. The Baltic was escorted by American destroyers until she reached British waters. In Liverpool a Guard of Honor was furnished by the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, whose regimental mascot can be seen in the photo. After leaving the ship with Lieutenant General Pitcairn Campbell, General Pershing inspected the troops.
