German and British soldiers

























During my research I found that I needed two types of soldiers the German and British soldiers as a standard use for the central powers and the allied forces so I used to copies of each soldier and made my pieces then changed the British soldier to how I needed it making another version that could sit down and hold a letter not just a gun

Up to 20,000 dogs were trained for front-line duties during World War One, newly uncovered records have shown. The canines carried aid to the wounded, took messages between the lines and sniffed out enemy soldiers. Their roles were deemed so important that in the early months of 1917 the War Office formed the War Dog School of Instruction in Hampshire to train them. They were also used for pulling machine guns and equipment. A collection of old newspapers, which has been made available on the family history website findmypast.co.uk, reveals how the animals lived in the trenches.

Medical innovation in World War One The wounds inflicted on millions of soldiers drov e the development of new medical techniques and inventions. Giving and storing blood The British Army began the routine use of blood transfusion in treating wounded soldiers. Blood was transferred directly from one person to another. But it was a US Army doctor, Captain Oswald Robertson, who realised the need to stockpile blood before casualties arrived. He established the first blood bank on the Western Front in 1917, using sodium citrate to prevent the blood from coagulating and becoming unusable. Blood was kept on ice for up to 28 days and then transported to casualty clearing stations for use in life-saving surgery where it was needed most. Technological innovation Innovations developed in the First World War had a massive impact on survival rates – such as the Thomas splint, named after pioneering Welsh surgeon Hugh Owen Thomas, which secured a broken leg. At the beginning of the war 80% ...
