thank for doing it right unlike last faggot (me)
Gettysburg. The rifle in the photo was a prop rifle that the photographer and his team placed in many of the photographs, since most of the weapons of the fallen soldiers had already been removed of the battlefield and they wanted to place the bodies into the proper context. It's also been speculated that the photographer posed or moved some of the bodies in order to get better composition.
>Suicide in the Trenches by Siegfried Sassoon
I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
No one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.
>by Yamaguchi Tsutomu (who lived through Hiroshima and Nagasaki)
in Great Hiroshima
dawn comes this morning
blazing and roaring.
in the river toward me comes
a human raft a floating.

Anyone know what battle this is from?

Jake the Dog and Finn the Human,
The fun will never end in adventure Time!

From where I found it, it said unknown location/unknown date. I'm reverse searching right now but it's mostly just reposts on russian sites.
German prisoner of war returning home in 1946, to find his house bombed and family gone.
>>941824
did he find them?
And does anyone have the pic where the little boy tries to stop his dad from marching to war?
>>941845
Quick search results leave it vague as to whether he found them again or not.
I know the picture you're talking about but I can't seem to find it.
WWI injury and reconstruction
>>941919
my great-grandfather had something pretty much exactly like that happen to him in WW1 (he lived to the mid 1970s I think though)
They were killed seconds after the picture was taken.
>>941931
and it took me 5 seconds to click out of the picture
checkmate
>>941927
it's amazing what the human body can withstand and still live
>>941943
no kidding. He also got gassed a bit as well.
Give Back the Human
Give back my father, give back my mother;
Give grandpa back, grandma back;
Give me my sons and daughters back.
Give me back myself.
Give back the human race.
As long as this life lasts, this life,
Give back peace
That will never end.

Why?
>>941997
Because Japan in WW2.
>>941984
Is this real or propaganda? I can't imagine why people would document themselves doing this.
>>942014
:(
Libyan corpses after an Italian attack during the Italo-Turkish War of 1911-12. I'm sure very few of the people in this photo understood why they were being killed or were killing, and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone today who remembers the war.

Japs were barbaric in their wars in Asia during the 30s and 40s. The weebs who say they dindu nuffin are retards.
>>942029
this is too true all to often in war.
>>941984
Delete this! I will notify Hiroyuki-senpai.
>>942015
I don't know about that particular picture, but I would imagine in certain cases (thinking particularly of Germans in WWII) they assumed they would win the war, so photographic evidence was viewed as a souvenir and not something that would later be used to showcase the atrocities that happened in the war. Although in some cases it appears people didn't know they were being photographed.
>>942074
people do terrible things during civil unrest. Look up the partition riots in the subcontinent.
>>941815
It's from a film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uecjvBaF_Oo
>>941824
This was taken by Tony Vaccaro. My favorite photographer from the war.

While it's true they seemed to take a sadistic pleasure in it, killing children happens in all wars.

GIs didn't sing this did they?

1st Cavalry Division in Vietnam.
It's not malicious, it's how they dealt with the "anything goes" ROE in the free-fire zones.
>>942442
bugger. its kinda terrifying what people do to cope through the brutality of war.
>>942418
Bomber crew wounds are particularly bad because the unarmored nature of the planes, flak would produce secondary fragments from pretty much anything.
>>942460
Metal coffins eh?
Ok, do medics and military surgeons have strong stomachs?

The fact that he came home makes me happy beyond words.
