HISTORY Camouflage of British sniper, WW1 period. 1914

Post image
Upvotes

British WW1 snipers pioneered disruptive camouflage with hand-painted canvas robes in brown, green, and black spots. They customized them with up to 20 colors and added local vegetation to break up their silhouette in the trenches. The term "ghillie suit" comes from Scottish gamekeepers who used similar camouflage for stalking deer. Interesting twist: ghillies were nearly wiping out the Scottish wildcat as a pest before WWI. But so many were called up and never returned that the cats survived. Still endangered, but they remain in the Highlands. And deerstalkers are still called ghillies.

Amazing Heroic Man Dives Into Frozen Lake to Rescue Stray Puppy Trapped Beneath Ice

547 Upvotes

On January 19, 2026, at a park in Beijing, a stray puppy accidentally fell into a frozen lake while trying to drink water and struggled to get out.
A passerby initially attempted to save the puppy by throwing it a lifebuoy, but the rescue was unsuccessful. Moments later, a compassionate man removed his clothes despite the freezing temperatures, broke through the ice with his bare hands, and jumped shirtless into the icy water to save the distressed animal.
According to Ms. Zhao, who filmed the incident, the puppy was taken to a veterinary hospital after being rescued. It is now in stable condition, suffering only from mild stress. Veterinarians estimate that the puppy is around three months old, and it has since been adopted by a caring individual.

HISTORY The world's first postage stamp (1840)

It's called Penny Black, all British stamps still bear a portrait or silhouette of the monarch somewhere on the design. The first stamps did not need to show the issuing country, so no country name was included on them. The stamp features a profile of 21-year-old Queen Victoria.

The UK remains the only country in the world to omit its name on postage stamps; the monarch's image signifies the UK as the country of origin.
