Bisbee Daily Review #OTDchroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84024...

Bisbee Daily Review #OTD Sep 24 1915 The long stretches of marsh and swamp land in the vicinity of Pinsk, which has just fallen into the hands of the Teutonic forces, was no hindrance in the pursuit of the retreating Russians. With the systematic order and ingenuity shown by the Germans, their engineering division took up the task of constructing the bridges over which their infantry, cavalry and artillery were moved with all dispatch in pursuit of the fleeing Muscovites. The photo gives an idea of the great difficulties the Germans are now experiencing in the Russian campaign. The bridge shown in the photo is several miles long and was constructed in thirty-six hours. https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84024827/1915-09-24/ed-1/seq-1/

The Evening Herald #OTD#WWIchroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn99063...

Since the retreat of the Germans from the vicinity of Paris has begun the Belgian Army has been heard from again. They have taken the field, and have been cutting German communications. This photograph shows one of their machine guns on an armored automobile in action. These guns have been used to great advantage, mowing down hundreds of German soldiers in the solid formation in which they fight. The gun can shoot about 700 shots a minute, and it is difficult for unprotected soldier to stand up before it. The evening herald., September 22, 1914 https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn99063812/1914-09-22/ed-1/seq-1/
