There was a previous thread that I had posted these pics in but we've lost it to the forum thread gobblers.
This will be a rather lengthy thread because I have so many danged images from this war.
All image filenames contain the details of the image, if I was able to get the date, location, etc.
Background:
"28 June 1914: Assassination of Franz Ferdinand
The Balkan states of Bosnia and Herzegovina, had been annexed from Turkey and taken into the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This was strongly resented by many Serbs and Croats and a nationalist group, The Black Hand, was formed.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, and his wife, had decided to inspect Austro-Hungarian troops in Bosnia. The date chosen for the inspection was a national day in Bosnia. The Black Hand supplied a group of students with weapons for an assassination attempt to mark the occasion.
A Serbian nationalist student, Gavrilo Princip, assassinated the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, when their open car stopped at a corner on its way out of the town."
Set 1.
1. Two dead German soldiers.
2. Abondoned German machine gun.
3. Crater of human remains.
4. Dead British in their trench. Bullecourt, 1917.
