Postcard from a painting by W. Partke of a village in the Pripet Marshes in Russia dated February 14, 1916. An Hungarian officer wrote of the Marshes, 'almost half of the territory is covered by wet, impassable, and uncultivated forest, wooded territory, most of it useless, bushy, and impenetrable. The ground itself is divided into different kinds of marshy lands, impassable muddy districts, immense weedy and grassy territories, also regions covered by some kind of more solid grassy substance, and other thousands and thousands of acres of land perpetually under water.' The card is field postmarked on April 9, 1917 by Minenwerfer (trench mortar) Company 282. Text: Dorf in den Pripetsümpfen W. Partke 14.II.1916. Village in the Pripet Marshes W.

Illuminating grenades — searchlights suspended by a parachute — for night warfare. From the Scientific American War Book: The Mechanism and Technique of Warfare Compiled and Edited by Albert A. Hopkins. Text: By courtesy of the Illustrated London News. Searchlights fired by infantrymen. Illuminating grenades disclosing a charge. An illuminating grenade (Hale's patent) is fired from a rifle. Four of the grenades have just burst in the air and their lights, 'held' by parachutes, are falling. The three men in the right foreground have illuminating grenades on their rifles, ready for firing. The rifle is not held at the shoulder, but its butt is rested against the ground; this because the recoil would be rather too much for the man's shoulder.more Illuminating grenades — searchlights suspended by a parachute — for night warfare.
