Sad that he had to lose his life at all; no disrespect to his memory, but he fought in the Great War, a war that amounted to nothing more than an imperial dumpsterfire fuelled by colonial rivalries and arrogance between competing nations. However, I'm sure your great uncle was a good man and deserves his due credit.
@@jonathannixon8652No. The M1910 canteens were out of service in 1962 phased out by the M1961 Plastic canteen in OD Green. Some M1910's remained in service during Vietnam but only really early like 1965-66.
I'm a Civil War living historian (54th Mass) trying to expand my horizons into other eras, before and after. I've been watching a TON of videos on WWI history and reenacting. Zero African Americans except in the period photos. You have a Black face in a blue helmet in the 1st 30sec of this video. THANK YOU (I've seen other Lionheart Films I liked, too. Keep up the good work)
@@tmoney007confederation7they didn’t wear grey, they wore green/olive coloring and the Americans wore brown. I’m WW2 the Americans swapped the brown out for green but the Germans kept the green colorings.
@@midwestvikings5239Actually that's not true. While the US Marines wore the newly introduced Olive Drab Uniform to distinguish against regular US Army infantry on the battlefield (Doughboys) The Germans used the M15 tunic and trousers most commonly and sometimes sore use of M14 tunic with red highlights. They were in Feldgrau (Fieldgray) and were not green/olive colouring. The M15 was a bit more bluish-gray but there was no green uniform for germans. Do your research.
Logistics. General Pershing refused to get a separate source of supply for the marines, any combat or replacement uniform (whether their old uniforms were torn/exposed to gas) was a standard issue m1912/17 uniform.
Nicely done! USMC green and dress blue uniforms have barely changed in the last 100+ years, aside from the high collar now only used on the dress blues.
This was Amazing to see, So very well done! AND on MEMORIAL DAY in the U.S.A. My father Served and so have I. Thank you for this great presentation! ❤🇺🇸
In regards to your video here of the the different uniforms worn by the different services of the AEF there's a couple of things. 1st. On the U.S. Marine Corps Captain, 1917, You missed one important thing, he's missing his USMC Officer's Eagle, Globe, and Anchor insignia on his collars. 2nd. 3/4th of the Marines of the 4th Brigade (Marine), 2nd Division, AEF (including the two Marine Corps Replacement Battalions) were in the U.S. Army 1912 OD winter service uniform even before they left for Battle of the Aisne (Belleau Wood) in late May, early June, 1918. 3rd. What period in 1918 is the Marine Sgt. with the M1897 suppose to be representing? Because if that's suppose to be BW, that's incorrect as well.
The fact that i download the video and only a few days or month later UA-cam realized i Download a video and supposed to be UA-cam Premium so they put it on youtube premium
Evolution is a very curious thing, it show's how lazy people are, or can be when it comes to advancements and people's lives? WE must move faster in our minds, and implement our ideas, vs the greed of politicians, ugh.
My Great Uncle lost his life at Cantigny.
Thank you for a well done documentary of the changes in uniforms during the Great War.

@@SirBolsón. You’re definitely acoustic
@@SbrBAR-z4z lmao
@SirBolsón You disrespected his memory. Better to just delete this and pretend like it didn't happen.
Fun fact: the WW1 Mess Kit lasted all the way until the 1990s with very few changes. The canteen lasted into the 70s.
I have a 44, 60 and an 82 mess kit
If it works why change it. Thats how things last so long with the same design.
Army still uses the canteens
Even with the change to plastic, the shape and style remained unchanged. Except a widening of the mouth.

Really top notch, I really like the music.
Was hyped before it even came out great video
My great grandma was born right when the US entered WWI. She then worked on the home front as a riveter during WW2. She died in 2018 at the age of 101
😮 101 años increíble!!! 🥰

I've actually went to a Reinactment of the Massachusetts 54 .
This channel is underrated
Thanks. Great video, and Happy Memorial Day to all.
‘This is almost like watching a movie! Good job 😊
The Marines turned in their Green Uniform for Army Brown. The Generals were afraid the they would be mistaken for German Green Uniform.
Sort of. They wore brown into combat but rear echelon kept wearing them.
Also it was logistics, not fear of friendly fire.
Germans wore Field Grey not GREEN??? The US wore Olive Drab in various shades NOT BROWN!

Dang Donut Dolly was looking good
My Great Grandfather served ww1 in France.
Very good
This is the best unnarrated video that I have ever seen on UA-cam. Bar none. I'm old enough to remember WW1 vet's in my city. This moved me.
Awesome
A navy corpsman in 1918 would’ve been a pharmacists mate if I recall correctly.
Idk corpsman school was 6 years ago. Love my corpsmen and devil dogs
Cuántas historias sin tener que leer un libro good job
The marines should have EGAs on their helmets.
You don't start seeing EGA's being worn on the helmets until after the Armistice and on occupation duty in Germany in the spring of 1919.
@@stevengirard9209 You sure? I swear some images from Belleu wood had them.

Que elegantes estos uniformes 😮
Always liked the WWI USMC uniform before they adopted the army uniform.
Bro changed M1917 liner since of asbestos lol
I love this video 0:11
My husband and I are allergic to wool! That would have been terrible if we had served, or rather my husband.
Would be terrible to serve in WW1 even if you weren’t allergic to wool.
Male models should be like this
Medics my favorite
Que Triste que haya muerto mucha gente por culpa del hombre!!! 😢
Have never been a fan of the mandarin collars on US WW1 tunics. they must have been uncomfortable to wear with that wool chafing against your neck.
It's WW1 World War 1 World War First
That girl is cute lol.
Fun fact they used The same webbing from the late 1910s Were used in World War II

Me gusta mucho tu música y tus videos cortos. 👍 uno de LYNELLEE.Uno Quiere compartir videos como el tuyoh para conseguir el cariño que no tiene.
The men gave their lives the women gave out doughnuts how times ha have changed (Not!)
