Sometimes neighbors are cool.

Custom magazine collection done for the Sim Settlements fo4 mod that I’m now allowed to post because they released the update. They went so far as to add actual glow-in-the-dark effects, bless them.

Battle of the Menin Road Ridge

September 20 1917 During the Battle of the Menin Road Ridge, famous war photographer Frank Hurley took this photo

A scene on the Menin Road near Hooge, looking towards Birr Cross Roads, during the battle on 20 September 1917. The wounded on the stretchers are waiting to be taken to the clearing stations; others able to walk are making their way along the road as far as possible. Identified are: Major (Maj) G A M Heydon MC, Regimental Medical Officer of the 8th Battalion (fifth from the left with his arm in a sling). To his left is Private W Bain and next to him is Private (Pte) ‘Spud’ Murphy. To Pte Murphy’s left (wearing a pack) is 58 Lance Corporal (LCpl) Roy Arthur Findlay MM, all are members of the 1st Field Ambulance.

According to Graham Lear

Shortly after the photograph was taken a shell landed in approximately the area where Maj Heydon and Pte Murphy had been standing. The shell killed most of the wounded on stretchers and LCpl Findlay was blown under the truck, shown lying on its side to the right.

Every morning, with out fail, I wake up at 4 am to go to the bathroom. My body is on a timer.

Every morning at 4 am with out fail my big whiney demon of a cat is waiting for me and I am encouraged, no I am expected, to scoop this 15 pound monstrosity up and hold him like a baby while I pee or he will wail like Hades’ pits of despairing souls and wake up the entire neighborhood.

Battle of Flers-Courcelette

Sep 21 1917 #OTD During the Battle of Flers-Courcelette in France (Sep 15 to 22 1916) war photographer Ernest Brooks takes this photo, IWM Q 2487, of a Brigadier and his staff outside the Male Mark I Tank “Dinnaken” D17 of D Company, which was used as his Headquarters. Colourized by @dougbanksee aka DB Colour 21 September 1916-09-21

On Sep 17 1917 the same tank was photographed twice (IWM Q 5578 & IWM Q 5577) by John Warwick Brooke. Earlier on Sep 15 1916 it led the men of the 122nd Brigade against Imperial German positions on the eastern part of Flers. The Tank has a painted camouflage scheme that was rarely used on British Tanks after 1916.
