@Prof - that pic looks exactly like one of Copplestone British sailors with a head swap!

Except the Copplestone sailors have the wrong gun. Brigade Games sailors would be a better match, for those souls who are picky about such things...

I was hoping there might be hundreds of those pages on that site, but I could only find one other, also from 1914:

It has a bit more on the Emden, plus a photo of Tommies and Japanese together at TSING-TAU.

Greetings from Canada!

This is my first post and I'd like to give you gentlemen (and ladies!) a gift for many hours of pleasurable lurking.  I only happened upon the Forum by accident and was amazed at the number of miniatures I'd never even heard about, even after nearly 50 years of modelling and collecting miniatures.  (Brigade Games is likely going to bankrupt me over the long run!)  Unfortunately, I don't have a digital camera (yet) so am unable to show you any of my collection.

Anyway, if you follow the link below, you'll come across a page where you can download, for free, eight
volumes of Illustrated War News, from the University of Toronto collection.  Nearly 500 meg and over 3800 pages of glorious WWI imagery! Hope you enjoy it! There are also several other periodicals avalable, which I haven't looked at yet.

If the link doesn't completely open the page, just hit the 'Go' button and it should refresh it.

Merry Christmas! I'll be in touch!

Cheers,
Mike  :mrgreen:

Thanks a lot

fantastic stuff there, Mike, thanks and welcome aboard!

But you have to join the library to be able to download anything. I did it and it was worth it

Weird! I was able to download with no problem and no joining!
