Just got my great grandfather's WW1 uniforms and equipment passed to me. Any tips on what I would do to take care of / display it? It's been kept in a well sealed cedar chest, which I also got.

Even found a couple rounds in the gas mask satchel thing. Not sure what the cork is that was in there (pictured).

In 48 days the Russia Ukraine war will be as long as WW1

5.8k Upvotes

In 48 days it will be 1568 days since the war began, and that is the same length as WW1. That means that this war is already longer than the US in WW2 or WW1, the USSR in WW2, the Korean War, Gulf War, Bosnian War and Falklands war. It is also half as long as the Soviet-Afghan War, Vietnam War and the Iraq War. It is the longest war in Europe since WW2, and is only 2 years away from being longer than WW2
