1916 The year of Great Offensives

Verdun, The Somme, Jutland, on the land and sea 1916 was the year of offensives. Both sides tried to break the stalemate on the Western Front.  One of the relics of that time is the British Webley revolver holster shown below. the revolver is from 1918, but the holster is from 1916. Was it at the Somme? it's anyone's guess.


Note the date and broad arrow mark in the middle of the flap.

    The 1918 Webley is a good fit for the holster.

  4. Right now the special day has showed up. No time for you to rest in your laurels however. You need to ensure that the actual bridesmaids are in the wedding ceremony, dressed as well as ready promptly. The same applies to the bride-to-be. Make sure she's dressed as well as everything is within place. Examine her veil, teach and locks. You'll have to do this prior to the wedding starts and again when you reach the actual altar. maid service dubai
