The picture above (click on it to enlarge) is from a 1915 Christmas issue of London Illustrated News and is called “The Allies Take the Offensive”I should point out to those who don’t recognise the Christmas decoration doubling as barbed wire that we still had these around when I was a child, glass stars separated with glass tubes coated on the inside with mercury all threaded on string.
I have published up the next week from Sphere Magazine, December 29th 1914 click on the link to view http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/blogpicts129/id30.htm I should apologise for the blurry flash effected pictures of the pages, I did notice though that our own dear Thanet District council still has the latest version of its flagship magazine published on the councils website so badly that much of it’s illegible see http://www.thanet.gov.uk/pdf/Thanet_Matters_Winter09.pdf I did mention it to TDCIT about a week ago so perhaps it’s an insoluble problem.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
