History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Doing Her Part


This picture, titled "Bombs and Butter:1942",  shows a housewife bringing in her fats and grease to her local butcher shop. The waste, in turn, is sold to the appropriate manufacturers where it is processed into ammunition for the troops in combat.
