Advertising of PEARS Soap for the complexion, 1925

I have found PEARS SOAP matchless for the hands and complexion.

Pears transparent soap is a brand of soap first produced and sold in 1807 by Andrew Pears at a factory just off Oxford Street in London, England. It was the world's first mass-market translucent soap. Under the stewardship of Thomas J. Barratt, A. & F. Pears initiated a number of innovations in sales and marketing.

Propellers of the Olympic 1908s

The Olympic Vessel;

It is the first of the three excellent vessels of the White Star Line company. They are  Olympic, Titanic and  Britannic. Interestingly, each god has a strange story, with memories scraped.

Olympic (on left ) and Titanic ( right ) in 2nd March 1912

The Olympic was the biggest vessel in the world during 1911 and 1913 until the Titanic has made.

Titanic was very similar to his old sister RMS Olympic. The spine was almost the same as the Olympic, although the volume and the registered tonnage were higher.

The Grand Staircase of the Olympic

However, there were some differences. The most obvious difference was that the front of the Titanic deck was covered with steel walls with sliding windows, while Olympic's complex was open. The B deck was also downscaled to Olympic, used for additional cabins and common rooms. When the Olympic was built, there was no Cafe Parisien like the Titanic had.

 This feature was not added until 1913. Some defects found in Ollympic Titanic'de corrected. For example, the sound of the junction at the back of the ship. The windows on the deck of the Titanic were circular, and the Olympic ones were oval. The tower of the tower was made narrower and longer. Because of this and other changes, the registered extra 1,004 gross tons was slightly heavier than Olympic and was the largest ship in 1912 to do the first journey.

Titanic and Olympic Alternative Theories

Two sister ships of the same size as the Titanic were built. The names of these vessels belonging to the same company are Olympic and Britannic. The most familiar theory starts here. Robin Gandiner's book Titanic: The Ship That Never Sank? According to the Titanic, it was submerged to get the insured money. Gandhiner: In 1911, the "Olympic" owned by the Titanic's owner White Star collided with the HMS Hawke of the British Navy and suffered a deep wound. But when the Navy rejected this crime, the company did not receive compensation. The White Star changed the name to Titanic and plunged the ship to get money from insurance. According to Gardiner, this is also the basis for the different number of lobes.

Neighborhood in war time in England

The use of toxic gas in World War 1 was a major military innovation. Gases have continued as chemical agents such as tear gas,  mustard gas and chlorine.

This chemical war was, firstly, a major component of global warfare and the first major war of the 20th century. The gas killing capacity (only 3% of those killed in combat, because of gas ).

Nonetheless, the proportion of non-fatal injuries was high and gas remained one of the greatest fears of the soldiers. It was possible to take effective measures against the gases, different from other weapons of the time. As a result, the effectiveness of the gas was increased, and in many cases the effectiveness of the war was reduced in later stages.

The widespread use of these agents in chemical warfare and the time of war have been documented in the advancement of powerful explosives. So much so that the "war of chemists" was among the rising values ​​of the First Word War.

Into the Jaws of Death 6th June 1944

U.S troops wading throug heavy surf and heavy Nazi Machine gun fire. June 6 1944

This great picture has photographed by Robert Sargent in 6 June 1944 in Omaha Beach in D-Day Operation.

Things have not gone so well since Omaha Beach. The planes bombed the shores and the trenches opened up for soldiers, but a successful bombardment could not be arranged for Omaha, and Allied troops made a shoreline without any kind of ship.

The Allies knew that in heavy-duty rifle battles, the soldiers would give heavy losses in the shores where there was no shield. They designed their light tanks to go in the water. All four sides of the tank were covered with high cloths, so water was prevented from getting inside. Omaha Beach was very choppy, and Allied tanks could not stand this wave, and they battled.

British tank commanders did not put their tanks into the sea because they knew they would not be able to get to the tide. The Allies, who have a large number of marketplaces, were able to control Omaha eventually with large losses.

The image was evoked in the 1998 Hollywood movie of Saving Private Ryan.

The Crowded Liner Queen Elizabeth in WWII, 1945

This is troopship Queen Elisabeth. Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary were used as troop transports during the Second World War. Their high speeds allowed them to outrun hazards, principally German U-boats, usually allowing them to travel without a convoy. Her carrying capacity was over 15,000 troops and over 900 crew. During her war service as a troopship Queen Elizabeth carried more than 750,000 troops, and she also sailed some 500,000 miles (800,000 km).

The voyage would take about 5-7 days on average to go from the East Coast of the US to the British Isles while bringing troops to Europe. It looks crowded because everyone is on deck as it is pulling into harbor (look at the top of the picture). According to Eisenhower’s memoir some troops were complaining to the press about the slow rate at which they were being returned to the States. He got wind of this and asked a big gathering of troops at an event he was attending whether they wanted to continue filling the ships at normal capacity, or be crammed the hell into them to get home as soon as possible. They overwhelmingly applauded the later option.

How did anyone find their family members when everyone got off the boat? Actually not anyone entered in contact with their family. The family likely wouldn’t be waiting at the dock unless they lived near the harbor as train transportation was actually pretty expensive. The troops would get off the ship, go to a Western Union office, send their family a telegram telling them when and how they would be getting home, and then they would get the train to there. There were other options, such as long distance telephones, but a telegram would have likely been the most common. It’s also possible for some of the soldiers not to have the money for a telegram, so they just showed up in their old town.  ( Source: rarehistoricalphotos )

Milkman, London 1940

If you think that the person in the picture is a real milker, you are mistaken. This picture was made for propaganda purposes to show that the British people continued their daily life during the Blitz Attacks in Germany during the Second World War. The photo was taken by Fred Morley on October 9th and published on October 10th.

What is Blitz?

After the beginning of World War II, only Britain remained among the places Hitler did not fully acquire. France had already surrendered and the European continent was under German control. Hitler was planning a major bombing campaign to destroy Britain from the battlefield or destroy air forces to prepare for occupation.

Blitz children

Britain bombed almost every day between September 7, 1940 and May 16, 1941 until Hitler was to launch an attack against Russia in 1941. These attacks were called Blitz (lightning, thunder).

Blitz Attacks

The main aim of Blitz attacks was to drop London. While the people were hiding in the night houses, they were hiding in the underground under the daytime.

People in subways

The picture below is Saint Paul's Cathedral. Blitz bombardments continue and a cold December night, fire fumes all over the city.

St. Paul Cathedral

When a photographer saw the cathedral of St. Paul, half a mile away, at the time of the attack, he set out to take photographs of destruction. The smoke from the building rises and everyone who follows has thought that the cathedral will definitely fall. At that time, with the effect of a strong wind, the smoke in front of the building was opened and the photographer caught it. Everyone thought the cathedral was burned that night, but the next morning they woke up and saw that the building was standing. It was a source of inspiration for many Londoners. Seeing that the cathedral survived this bombing, people's faith in themselves came back.


The British government was censoring photos of this kind so that people would not lose their morale. That's why Fred Morley staged a milk photograph to raise people's morale.

At the end of Blitz, about 30,000 Londoners died and 50,000 people were injured.
