Readers will remember our frequent visits in 2011 to the Atlantic’s series of photo essays on the Second World War, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the US entry into that war in 1941. The Atlantic’s just followed that triumphant achievement with a 10-part photo essay about the First World War. Here are just a few of their many images, reduced in size to fit this blog.
A French priest blesses an aircraft
British BL 8-inch howitzers in action on the Western Front

The battleship USS New Jersey in 1918
There are more images at the link, all in much larger sizes. Great reading for history and military buffs, with many photographs I’d never seen before.
