3D Historical Virtual Tour. World War I Trench - 1917 This World War I Trench scene illustrates some of the conditions soldiers of the Great War used to face from 1914 to 1918.
In many cases, the front line hardly moved at all over the course of the war. In areas where fighting had been severe, it was not uncommon for many bodies to decay between the lines in No Man's Land. The stench of the front lines would greet soldiers on their way to the trenches miles before they ever got there. Rats, lice and disease were rampant among the trenches.

Toyhaven: Incoming: DID World War I 1/6 scale British Infantry "Albert Brown" 12-inch Figure. World War I (WWI), which was predominantly called the World War or the Great War from its occurrence until 1939, and the First World War or World War I thereafter, was a major war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918.
It involved all the world's great powers, which were assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (centred around the Triple Entente of the United Kingdom, France and Russia) and the Central Powers (originally centred around the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy). DID has really gone off the beaten path (of sure-to-sell special forces figures like SEALs etc and WWII German figures - don't know why but there seems to be a LOT of Germans around) with Albert Brown, who is supposed to be a typical WWI British Infantryman from 1914 to 1918. World War I is an era not too many 1/6 scale manufacturers explore because not many collectors are into WWI, not even among military figure collectors.

Home War Horse, directed by Steven Spielberg, is an epic adventure set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War.
War Horse begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets – British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter – before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land.

Hundreds of thousands of men who served with the armed services, some women and some civilians received at least one WW1 medal.
There are two main kinds of WW1 medal awards: campaign medals and gallantry or meritorious service awards. Campaign Medals A Campaign or a War Medal was awarded to an individual if he or she took part in a military campaign outside of the United Kingdom in a Theatre of War or in a time of war. Guide to British WW1 Campaign Medals Gallantry or Meritorious Service Awards Some individuals were awarded with a gallantry medal, an award for distinguished or meritorious service or were Mentioned in Despatches for showing special courage or devotion to duty in a particular action or circumstance. Doubtless there were many acts of courage and gallantry in the First World War which went unseen and for which no formal gallantry award was given.

The First World War. British First World War propaganda posters. Designed by Arthur Wardle and published by the Parliamentary Recruitment Committee in 1915, this poster demonstrates that the recruitment drive during the First World War was not limited to British citizens.
It attempts to foster a sense of unity between the dominions of the British Empire against a common enemy. At the outbreak of the First World War on 4 August 1914 the entirety of the British Empire was automatically deemed to be at war with Germany. However, self-governing dominions such as Canada, India, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand could choose whether or not to offer military assistance.
A later version of the poster simply read "Overseas States" where before India, Canada, Australia and New Zealand were listed; South Africa had initially hesitated to become involved in the conflict and was left out of Wardle's original design.
