Facebook during ww1
« on: 13-04-2013, 16:04:14 »
If facebook existed during ww1, how does a soldier would use it ?
A museum has tried. It uses Leon Vivien and fictive  however the documents and the context (how they speak, anecdotes ) are real.

Sorry it's in french :

You don't speak french? Maybe german? Go here:

Always wanted to upload an english translation to YouTube. But 5 years later, that probably won't happen anymore.

I usually imagine my own sounds with it, like `tjunk, tupdieyupdiedee` aaa enemy spotted, ratatatataboom

The fictional Leon Vivien died yesterday 98 years ago and I find myself strangely touched.
