Can someone with more uniform knowledge than I have verify this pic. I meant to delete it before the post but overlooked it.
Looks like the Civil War but I am not sure.
Thanks

Great dump, thanks !
My great-grandfather was a cuirassier in the French army. During the first few months of the war, they actually charged on horseback, sword drawn. Most of the time, they didn't even reach the Germans, they were all gunned down by machine guns. Most of his friends were killed, he was shot three times, and only survived the war because his horse was shot down under him and destroyed his leg when falling, so he was in an hospital for most of the war and and never walked properly ever again.
He worked as a diplomat after the war.

Great Story anon. I feel sorry for the men and horses.
Seems foolish to use valiant men as cannon fodder.
Tho that seems not to have changed much even in the Second war sans horses.

French (or English) is not my first language, but I'm pretty sure it means "A bugler of the zouaves, with his arm torn off, played until death".

I recently bought the books 'Covenants of Death' from 1932 (google it)
I want to get it scanned so I can upload it all, but the way that they do it means they destroy the book and there is no fucking way in hell I'm destroying it.
What else can I do?

Get a handheld scanner, even a phone app if you must, and individually clean and edit each page you scan for contrast, alignment, and sharpness.

Also, TheGreatWar on youtube has a good video series on WWI, even if its a bit on the liberal side and trying to be more ideological and judgmental than practical and reasonable.
Still, I like it and follow it. Its unbiased as far as these things go.

I find it difficult to imagine that you would print postcards happily celebrating the three monarch if your army run pillaged and burned its way through two of their countries.
