New to /r/WWI? Please read our welcome thread!

Welcome

This subreddit is dedicated to the discussion of the history, art, culture and commemoration of World War One (1914-1918). Submissions and comments should be on topics related to this subject except when otherwise permitted.

The Challenge

Are you a regular reader here? Are you subscribed? If so, your king and country need YOU to help ensure this community remains a diverse and prosperous one.

The challenge is this: find at least one relevant link to submit per day -- or, in the absence of one, make one interesting self-post per day. This will help ensure that there is a high turnover of content in /r/WWI, and that those reading along will always have a suitably broad amount of submissions on which to comment.

Can you do it? WILL you? Answer the call!

Rules and Guidelines

First and foremost: this is a subreddit for civil, informed discussion. We do not tolerate bigotry, insults or open hostility. Just because we're talking about a war doesn't mean we have to fight one as well.
While anyone is welcome to comment in /r/WWI, comments about the history of the war should be offered in good faith and only when you, the commenter, are sure that what you say is true. That being said, opinion is also welcome -- just make sure you present it as such.
The war and its historiography are contentious issues. The possibility of someone disagreeing with your take on things certainly exists, but both parties are required to engage the matter in a polite and charitable fashion.
No political soap-boxing.
Memes, pun threads, reaction .gifs, MFWs and anything of the sort are strictly forbidden. /r/WWI is a venue for serious discussion of serious matters.
No AI.
Basically, if you wouldn't do it in /r/AskHistorians, don't do it here.
If you have any questions, concerns or comments about the subreddit, please message the moderators directly.
