GREAT WAR HISTORY SITES
THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS has all the WWI issues of STARS AND STRIPES posted. There are sveral ways to access each issue. The PDF format is the best but you will need a current version of Adobe Acrobat to view the paper. If you're not on a broadband connection you might want to use the OCR (Optical character recognition) version but it's very difficult to follow. Figure out what works for you.

Easily one of the finest Great War History sites on the web.
Informative, thorough and well laid out.

Many people contact this site looking for a unit that is strictly AEF in nature, as opposed to our unit which served with the British. There is one unit that I know meets all the criteria for authenticity and committment to the hobby.
Run by my friend Eugene Poplavsky, the Legion Russe enjoys a reputation among Great War reenactors for its authenticity. Check out their website for information on this little know Great War unit.
My friend and fellow reenactor Alan Crane was unhappy with the authenticity, availability and price of repro uniforms and equipment for Great War reenactors. AEF SUPPLY is the result of his extensive search for manufacturers and suppliers whose products meet his exacting standards. He is constantly adding new items.

Paul Schipper's website lists numerous items of interest to Great War reenactors. Items of specific interest to AEF types include Small box respirators, collar disks and rank insignia. All top quality.
..............................
PRAIRIE FLOWER LEATHER COMPANY makes excellent reproduction leather items including helmet liners, period watch bands and scabbards for U.S. M-1917 trench knives. I can personally attest to the quality of the work, its value for the buck and their service. They can also do special orders. Deal with absolute confidence.

THE DIGITAL BOOKSHELF has assembled a large collection of rare military histories and digitalized them on CD-ROM. The CD's contain the same text, maps and pictures as the originals. Most A.E.F. Divisions have some material available on CD and many have multiple volumes.
