At last... a way to display my stuff...
Hard to do when you collect information and paper ...
Eveything in binders, never seeing the light of day....
Soooooooo, what do you do?
Create a website !!!
I intend to add to it as I go along of course, the main thrust is to have every piece presented also RESEARCHED... putting it in its historical context...
A few examples...
A real Trench fighter
http://www.trenchfighter.homepage.t-...047/40450.html
A Somme KIA
http://www.trenchfighter.homepage.t-...312/40321.html
How far have we come that the best way to display our collections is behind a screen ...
Hope you enjoy.
All the best
Chris

Great job Chris. The website really adds life to the artifacts. Is this difficult to do?

Nice website Chris! You found a way to display your collection.
I was wondering which program you use for creating your site?
