That is interesting. Not often you see photo's from that war. There are a couple of games on the subject, though.

Very cool story and photos from an important chapter of history that not many people are aware of, at least here in the US.
I’ve spent half my life’s earning on wargames, women, and drink. The rest I wasted.

It's amazing how much important history that most of the US population doesn't know

Excellent article. Thank you for sharing. I have read several books/articles on this time period as my mother's side of our family are Polish and some of our distant relatives came to America just before and after WW1.
