Today in 1915 Bulgaria decides to join the war on the side of the Central Powers and declares war on Serbia, an old adversary. A chance to settle old scores and reclaim lost territory of the previous decades. Let's see how it goes for them!

#Bulgaria

Upper Left: Bulgarian Flag in 1914. Three equal stripes, white on top, green in middle, and red on bottom. Plus a crest with a crown atop and a golden lion looking left in it with red background. The three colors of the stripes are found in the crest and crown.

Upper Right: Black and white photo of Bulgarian artillery firing. Smoke coming out of the barrel. Looks like a howitzer lobbing shells up and over. 3 soldiers manning the cannon with 2 men in background, one pointing in the sky at the shot. Pretty barren landscape with a hill in the background. (Probably the Macedonian front.)

Bottom Left: Black and white photo of Bulgarian infantry in a trench built into rocks. Rifles resting on the parapet. Some snow in the background. Most soldiers sitting and kneeling. One many standing looking across No Man's Land.

Bottom Right: Color photo of St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Sofia Bulgaria. Multiple domes and numerous windows. Distinctive light green roofs on most of the domes. The top dome looks golden. Blue sky above with a few floating white clouds. Stone parking area with white lines in the foreground.

Happy Birthday Rin Tin Tin! (Approximate date.) Acclaimed 1920s movie star. Rescued in the rubble of a village abandoned by the retreating Germans during the Saint-Mihiel Offensive. Nursed to health by his new master, he returned with him to the US and became a Hollywood legend.

Italy follows up recent progress with attacks to extend the Gorizia bridgehead. Night attacks and brutal fighting allow the Italians to seize vital trenches just a few kilometers from Trieste. Austria-Hungary will shorten their lines along Mount Santo and the Hermada Hills.

"La Martyre" - and I'm sorry but I don't know the artist. It clearly dates from the First World War - there's a German helmet on the piano and that appears to be a Red Cross nurse lying dead beside the enthusiastically performing Death.

Happy Birthday Eddie Rickenbacker! The most famous US Ace of WW1. Started the war as a driver for Col Billy Mitchell (Father of the US Air Force) and he helped get him into the air service where he excelled. Incredible life after the war. Wrote a great memoir of his war service.

His plane has a star spangled hat upside down next to him and below his seat. Behind him you see the large number 5. Small crowd behind him on other side of the plane. Ground is muddy.

Buster Keaton's birthday! Famed actor, director, and writer. Best known for his silent films, he worked into the 1960s. Drafted into the AEF he went to France in 1918. Already well known, the AEF decided not to risk his life in the trenches and used him as an entertainer.
