1918, German boys 'have a feast' because they're drawn (earlier) as soldiers in very late WW1.
The Austrians had this strangling device for the death sentence. Called 'strangling gallows'. (Würgegalgen)
An execution; in the 2nd pic a doctor and officers checking the dead man.

French Soldiers Killed by German Artillery. WW1
Russian, possibly Serbian Soldiers, killed and all personal kit including their M.91 Mosin-Nagant thrown to the side by advancing Central Powers troops
Dead Russian Soldier, Carpathian Mountains.
Reims battlefield with fallen Senegalese soldiers.
Dead Romanian soldiers near Kronstadt (now Stalin), Romania, in 1916.

Russian Soldiers going through a barbed wire entanglement. WW I
British troops landing to assist Japanese troops in capturing Tsingtao from Germany, in 1914
Rare photo taken at night during World War I taken near the Australian lines. The foreground is brightly lit up, with grass and scrub clearly visible. In the background, against a black sky, shell flares criss-cross the sky.
Guns removed from the wreck of the SMS Konigsberg. The Germans recovered Konigsberg's ten 105-millimeter (4.1 in) quick-firing guns, mounted them on improvised field carriages, carried them away, and used them with great success as powerful field guns in their guerrilla campaign against the Allies around East Africa.

Killed Romanian artillery crew on the position.
Romanian soldiers killed in the trench from direct impact of Bulgarian shell.
Killed Romanian soldiers and destroyed military equipment on the shore of river Danube while attempt to evacuate.
* The shore of river Danube.
The smoke coming from Romanian city of Oltenia (situated on the north shore of the river) from Bulgarian and German artillery fire. Soldiers and many of their mounts lay dead along the shoreline.

Now for some light hearted Photographs.
This fox served as a mascot for an RAF squadron during WW1
Cats were always around the trenches. They were welcome as they caught rats which would eat rations.
After being rescued from an abandoned foxhole in the New Guinea Jungle, Tiny Smoky (weighing just four pounds) accompanied her owner, Corporal Wynne, through treacherous and primitive conditions. Wynne credits the little Yorkshire Terrier as saving his life on several occasions.
Golden eagle was a pet of a British officer in the Balkans in 1916.
Wojtek the bear.
After his mother was shot, Wojtek was rescued by a local boy in Iran and sold to a young polish refugee. When he grew too large, she gave him to the Polish army, who instantly fell in love with their new friend. Still a cub, they reared him on condensed milk from a vodka bottle.
As Wojtek grew he enjoyed wrestling, guzzling beer and eating cigarettes. He could even salute to his superior officers.
Billy de Goat, mascot of the No 609 RAF Squadron. Raised from a kid, he remained with the squadron through all their postings throughout WWII right until victory was declared.

Overrun Russian position in WW1. Instead of sandbags, they used sods of soil (and wood) to build the fortification here.
US soldiers, not in war. But they have cats.
Maybe they're in a training camp; the MG is a French one.
Ammunition factory. Every shell was more or less handmade and the fuzes were almost small clockworks.
And they did need millions of them. What for an effort.
