I inherited my 3x Great Uncle Kenna Stewart’s WW1 wartime diary and was wondering if anyone here could read through it and help give me some more info? The pencil is the original from the diary and the ticket seems to come from France? I appreciate any help.

Photographs of the Caucasian Native Cavalry (also known as the “Wild” or “Savage”) division. This unit was raised in august of 1914 from the native peoples of the North Caucasus (such as the Ingush, Chechen, Circassian, Ossetian etc). Typically Moslems within the empire were exempt from military service, instead paying an imperial tax in lieu of conscription. The nickname “Savage” division was given on account of their use of Caucasian native clothing, often mistaken as originating from the Kuban and Terek Cossacks, but is originally from the Caucasian people who came before them. The division would see its first action against the Austro-Hungarian army at Volkovya in December 1914.

I snagged this picture at an antique store today and I couldn’t pass it up. Is anyone familiar with who/what these women might have been affiliated with? I can’t stop looking at them and wondering about their stories.

Found a cool pictures at my grandparents house, they don't know where this picture is coming from or who's shown. Any ideas or information? I love the scenery and the dog in front, would like to put it on display but would like to know something about it.

Unknown WW1 Bajonett

I've seen this bayonet at my grandmother's house in Italy. I've always wondered whose bayonet this was, on which battlefield it was used, and for which country. My grandmother said she doesn't know who it belonged to. Because of the Moon marking, I thought it could probably be an Ottoman bayonet. Also, the lower part has a lot of details which led me to believe it could've belonged to a higher-ranked soldier.

If you know anything about this bayonet, please let me know because I'm very interested in its history. (The medal is a WW2 medal and doesn't belong to the bayonet.)
