A postcard from the First World War showing then General Allenby taking the salute from a passing parade of French soldiers. The information at the bottom of the card describes Allenby as "An Taoiseach Allenby" and the appropriate musical salute for the Taoiseach is "Amhrán Dóchais" though I doubt that the French military band were aware of that fact at the time!
A Clancy Brothers rendition for those unfamiliar with the air!

The little German soldier boy dreams of slaughtering little French soldier boys. The text says:
"'Dear Fatherland, may you be calm,
I won't let anyone across the Rhine!'
Piff-paff, Willis's gun cracks,
Piff-puff, the enemies soon flee.
Many might escape
If Buki doesn't catch them slinking away.
No details on reverse. Probably an amateur photo judging by the quality. The POWs being escorted at the front are Scottish soldiers judging by the tam o'shanter caps with French or Belgium solders behind. No idea of the location.
The Trocadero and Albert Chambers on Temple Street in Birmingham.
This is a panoramic edit of two old photos from 2011.
Albert Chambers is a Grade II listed building.
Mid C19, altered in the late C19. Ground floor of yellow tiles with some
green and brown decorative work; upper storeys stuccoed. Three storeys;
3 bays, the outer 2 advanced and with boldly cut quoins left and right.
Ground floor with plasters carrying an entablature with mosaic frieze in
which 'Trocadero', garlands and 'Albert Chambers' and a dentilled cornice.
Within this framework is set a modern front between, on the left, an original
wide arched entrance flanked by columns with stained glass windows above
and, on the right, a subsidiary entrance to the chambers above. First
and second floors each with 4 windows, those of the first floor with a
moulded cornice running across their heads, those of the second floor with
moulded sills and, the centre 2, with big blocks above them. All window
sashes complete with glazing bars. Heavily bracketted moulded eaves cornice.
Only vestigial remains inside of the decoration of circa 1900.
Albert Chambers trocadero
It is at 17 Temple Street.
No. 17 was the Norwich Union's Fire Engine House, of 1846 by Edge & Regency. Four bays recessed centre, still stucco Cheltenham Regency. Small sashes and heavily rusticated quoins. In 1883 W. Luke Dennis altered the ground floor for the Bodega wine bar, but the present sumptuous tiled front with Corinthian pilasters and mosaic frieze with decorative garlands is probably by Maw of 1902, when it became the Trocadero. Inside, part of a comtempory Smoke Room at the rear: panelling and a fireplace with stressed verticals, rather Art Nouveau.
From Pevsner Architectural Guides: Birmingham by Andy Foster.
Detail of the Trocadero mosaic and a lantern above.
Trocadero itself was a fort captured by French soldiers in the bay of Cadiz in 1823 and the pub sign commemorates that event.
The Trocadero
The Edge of Edge & Regency is Charles Edge. Addressed at 17 and 18 Temple Street.

Close up of the graves. A change in the scale of our sight helps us see the personal and individual dimension of the site. The graves represent actual people, with a name, personality, religion, family: an identity.
The Trench of Bayonets at Verdun. 2 stories here. 1; They were all killed whilst standing waiting to repel the enemy. 2; They were killed elsewhere and buried in the trench with their bayonets used as grave markers. American architect George D Rand funded the building of a memorial over the trench. It was inaugurated on December 8 1920.
