WORLD WAR ONE GUNS AND TANKS
the items shown in the pictures below are all on display in the Belgian Royal Museum of the Army and Military History in Brussels.
This is only a (small) part of the WWI section of the museum. Many more guns, uniforms etc are being displayed.

The pictures shown below have been taken by the author in order to provide some (extra) information about the "real thing",
thus assisting fellow-wargamers in painting, modelling and building their miniature armies.
