Picture
The Switzerland 1914-1918 website now has a presence on Twitter! It is a good way of sharing the many photographs from my collection. There are only so many photos that I can post on this website without it seeming overloaded, but on Twitter I can share them with interested parties and it also helps direct traffic to this site. Currently I am posting one photograph per day, trying to vary the content between the different aspects of this period of Swiss history.

It has also been a good way of finding other people and website covering the subject of Switzerland in WWI. To be honest there have not been that many to date, but I would recommend this one: Swiss postcards from the First World War period (in French).
