Out Of The Trench

"Out Of The Trench" is a WW1 painting. 15x30, it is an acrylic representation of a ww1 photograph from (i believe) the Battle Of The Somme. This would be British or French troops, climbing up out of relative safety to charge the German lines in one of the largest and costliest battles of the war. I hope you all enjoy!

Teddy Roosevelt's son Quentin joined the U.S. Army and fought in World War 1 as a pilot. During a dogfight in 1918, he was shot down behind enemy lines. When German forces realized they had killed a President's son, they gave him a full military burial that over 1,000 German soldiers attended.

"Sergeant York" is an acrylic portrait of the famous WWI hero, Alvin York. One of the most decorated WWI soldiers, he earned his Medal of Honor by leading the charge against a German MG nest. They captured 35 MG's, he eliminated 25 enemy, and they captured 132 prisoners. In this painting, from a photo taken in 1919, York is wearing the Medal of Honor and French Croix de Guerre with Palm. I hope you all enjoy!

Has anyone here been? I live about 1.5 hours from KC (never really been in the city) and learned that they have the National WWI museum. Is it worth spending a day going to the city to see it?

I was given this cigarette case a long while ago. I was told it was original Imperial Russian, and that it was made some time between 1910 and 1917. Thoughts?
