pistol used to assassinate the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, sparking the First World War
THE GUN USED BY THE WORTHLESS SICKO BASTARD THAT LED TO WW1, WHICH OF COURSE LED TO .... #2.
I don’t even wanna hear about how the murderous TB infected creep was a patriot. He was terrorist shit and I’m glad TB got him rather then the hangman’s rope, because that was a more lingering death I hope.
He murdered the one man (and needlessly his wife as well) who actually was sympathetic to the killer’s cause. Or his stated cause. Personally, I believe like all terrorists, he rather enjoyed himself.

The pistol used to assassinate the Archduke Franz Ferdinand (and his wife ) is to go on display at the Imperial War Museum Photo: Heeresgeschichtliches MuseumThe gun and a homemade grenade are being unveiled at the Imperial War Museum to mark the 90th anniversary of the end of a war which claimed 21 million lives.
The Archduke’s assassination in Sarajevo in June 1914 started a domino effect of allied nation disputes which led to the First World War.
Other pieces in the In Memoriam: Remembering the Great War exhibition include the Victoria Cross awarded to poet and soldier Wilfred Owen and a wreath tossed into the carriage carrying Prime Minister Lloyd George after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.
Terry Charman, the museum’s senior historian, said: “The 90th anniversary of the Armistice is an important milestone in the Imperial War Museum’s own history as it was founded during the First World War as ‘a lasting memorial of common effort and common sacrifice’ to those who played their part in the conflict in which over 700,000 British servicemen lost their lives.
“We hope that In Memoriam: Remembering the Great War will allow visitors to discover more about the personal experience of those whose lives were shaped by the events of the First World War.”
The experiences of 90 individual servicemen and women and civilians will be used to illustrate the key events of the Great War and its aftermath.
The exhibition opens on September 30.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
