Your great grand pa killed all of them…Dayum

I thought you meant your great grandfather had shot them all single-handedly, lol. Gas masks have to be the creepiest thing since early diving suits

A ‘piece of gold’ – that picture you’ve got there – I would say.
But the "shot" bit threw me momentarily; what with it being a picture of soldiers in war!

Are you sure about the date? Because these soldiers are wearing british-made SBR gas masks that, to my knowledge, were only issued by the Italian Army in 1918, after the battle of Caporetto.
