Whilst the war raged across Flanders fields, an equally horrifying and sometimes more dangerous battle took place underground.Beneath Flanders Fields tells the story of the tunnellers war, which still remains one of the most misunderstood, misrepresented and mystifying conflicts of the Great War.A wealth of personal testimonies reveal the engineering, technology and science behind how this most intense of battles was fought and won. They speak of how the tunnellers lived a relentless existence in the depths of the battlefield for almost two and a half years, enduring physical and mental stresses that were often more extreme than their infantry counterparts. Their lives were reduced to a complex war of silence, tension and claustrophobia, leading up to the most dramatic mine offensive in history launched on 7 June 1917 at Messines Ridge. Yet, Messines was not the end of their story, which continued with the crafting of a whole underground world of headquarters, cookhouses and hospitals, housing the innumerable troops who passed through this part of the Western Front.Here, this extraordinary, hidden world is revealed and the fragile legacy it has left behind on Flanders fields is brought to light.

As an illustrator and historian, I have found that there is a lack of material collected to facilitate the work of illustrators, historians, writers and to satisfy the curiosity of all those who are passionate about history. A lot of time had to be devoted to the search and selection of material, which was generally dispersed in numerous historical sites and documents. That is why I decided to organize several informative catalogues on airplanes, tanks, military uniforms, civilian clothing, weapons and ships. With this work I hope to have contributed to simplify the task of many professionals.

This book is a catalogue of most of the uniforms worn by the countries participating in the First World War, between 1914 and 1918. My objective was to gather a complete reference guide for illustrators, scriptwriters, historians or for all those who, like me, are simply interested in world history.

There are many gaps in the history of the Brazilian Military Brigade, due to the lack of more in-depth research, especially in the 19th century. This is because, in that period, the competencies of the military forces of that time, such as the National Guard and the Army, had not yet been defined. The Military Brigade officially considers its creation date to be November 18, 1837, under the denomination of Police Force. However, the Corporation has not always adopted this date, because in the beginning of the 20th century, for several times, the institution celebrated its anniversary referring the creation to October 15, 1892, when an act signed by the then acting President of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Fernando Abbott, officially decreed the creation of the Military Brigade, using for the first time this specific name and, at the same time, extinguished the Civic Guard. So we can say that there are two important dates related to the creation of the Brigade: 1837 and 1892. However, there is an almost complete lack of information regarding the evolution of the Brigade uniforms. I tried to fill this lack by consulting old photographs, and imagining the colors taking into account the tonality of the image, and comparing with uniforms of the same period in other countries, particularly France, which had a strong influence on military clothing in much of the world. With this work, we only intend to put one more humble grain of sand in the reconstruction of our state s past.
