WWI British Display

- Опубликовано: 15 янв 2020
- Most of us at Dragonman's recently saw the new movie, "1917". If you're interested in military history, we recommend you see it. The British were there first in 1914. The Americans came to support the British in 1917.
All the items I'm pointing out in the video you will recognize in the movie if you go to see it. WWI was mostly all trench fighting. The soldiers had it very, very rough. I give the filmmakers a lot of credit for their efforts in creating a realistic depiction of the realities of WWI.
Hope you all learn a lot and thanks for watching! The museum will re-open in the Spring and the calendar to purchase tickets will be active the end of February.

Probably has the Red Baron's plane out back.
Not possible he got shot down
@@conflictbricks8330 It was an attempt at a joke.
Leroy Hovatter 😂😂
@@leroyhovatter7051 I've seen the Barons Triplane engine at Duxford. The one he got shot down in
@@conflictbricks8330 no he managed to land it before dying
I imagine dragon man watching the movie 1917 and be like "oh look I own all these things they got in the trench..." people near him ".........."
No doubt.
Thank you for including British army in your museum
British soldiers are equally as important as US soldiers.
@@Rubalix definitely
The British are weak america is superior
Bri'ish
When I was in army cadets in Canada in the early 70’s we were issued the old WWII wool uniforms, they were the same as the British uniforms. Damn they were great in the winter and cold months but when the heat of the summer came they were just awful to be in.
My grandfather was a WWI vet ( British) and a regimental sergeant major as kids we had the exact copy of those binocular’s to play with, so cool seeing them 45+ years later sure brought back a flood of memories.
We still used convert .22 enfield no.4 enfield rifles from 1940 in the british air cadets 3 years ago
@@manicmangomango8118 we used to use them in army cadets but have since been decommissioned for about 2 years now for us
I’m a cadet and i prefer the old uniforms than now tbh
@@manicmangomango8118 that’s really cool.
I’m sorry to hear about your wife but stay safe and keep making more of these videos
All the exhibits are very beautiful, but I especially like the battledress uniform. Both the blouse and pants are of the P-49 model, so they were produced after World War II.
Imagine if some of these items could talk. What an amazing collection!
So glad you’re making more exhibits
... Incredible. Best times at dragon mans!!!!
I have to make my way to Colorado some time! Just to see your amazing collection.
Can't wait till I can pay a visit to this museum
Wow awesome content, I can’t wait to come there some day
Need an AU section, we been to every war you have since WW1.
"And back here we have the original Red Baron plane"
“And here we have a original Mk. V tank”
"and over here you can see a real life and fully operating german zeppelin used to bomb british cities during ww1"
I dont want to be that guy but
That Brodie Mk III is Backwards
The Uniforms you have on display are Pattern 37 which was the Second world war one, the one your looking for is the Pattern 02
The Webley Fired .455
Honestly I love your channel and really want to visit you museum because you have alot of really cool stuff :)
I have watched a number of these videos and loved each one. I hope I can fly out there to see his museum some time soon. One thing about the German tri-plane. It would have had twin Spandau machine guns. The Allied forces would have the Lewis gun. Is there any way you can get one of those to show everyone the difference? Keep up the great job.
As a Brit I'm glad you honoured the British army in your museum. American is our closes ally but sometimes I feel as though some people forget what we did. I also feel that a lot of the commonwealth soldiers from Africa and Asia were dishonoured after the war. We all played a part to defeat Hitler in WWII and over come the Ottomans in WWI. It wasn't just one country conquering all, it was a team effort. I have the ut most respect form the American army, but I don't like it when some people say that they saves us twice, no offence to most fine Americans by the way. America is awesome and I can't wait to go there later this year. You get people in my country who slag off the Americans, but I don't agree with their disparaging comments. I hope the UK here in Europe and the US stay friends till the end of time. The American army is awesome, so is ours. I wish well on both of us and our allies such as Norway and France as well as many others!!!!
@2:59 German Fokker triplane spandau machine gun Lewis British gun. Enjoyed watching Thanks for sharing :)
i am a british man just i want to 98 persent of my family were in the army/navy/marines
I love learning about history when it comes to war stuff back in day. That would be awesome if he had a real Red Barron airplane.
Awesome 👏
Dam I wish I could go to that museum
4:55 “I got ww1 ammo crates!”
But the box says “64” as in 1964 😂
I'm afraid there's a few things wrong in the video. Then uniforms show our not First World War types, but rather Battle Dress which was what was worn in ww2. The first mannequin seems to be wearing a 1941 austerity Patton set and the second has the post war 1949 pattern. The 38 caliber revolver was not used in WW1, they used a .455 caliber revolver. The gas mask was a Second World War civilian service mask and wasn't used by the military and the boxes were late ww2 pattern designed for war in the Far East. Although it's unlikely the design was actually used in ww2. I appreciate your effort to keep my country's military history alive, but figured I'd point out the eras. Also the Germans used MG08 on this ww1 aircraft not Lewis guns.
Oh shut up!
@@v.u8983 why?
It's too much to list he got everything wrong
wow great stuff, How much do you charge for a tour of your museum at the regular times sunday and wednesday ?
We have a plumbing business in hermiston Oregon there's a house and a duplex on the property up in the attic of the duplex my great grandfather used ammo boxes from WW1&2 he roofed the duplex with them it actually looks kind of cool up there don't know if he hid anything up there never really looked there is literally hundreds of ammo boxes lining it
Really cool that everything he says is WW1 was all actually made during or after WW2
6:00 Now I know from were the weapon of the Javas in Star Wars designed from :-D
RIP R2😂
I have an enfield no1 and no4 but there both sporterized cause I can’t Ford a original one
Cheers mate
They are Spandau MGs on the Fokker Dr.I introduced in 1917& not earlier. Der Rote Baron only got twenty victories in the Dr.I
Imagine watching a war movie and saying "I have one of those" to everything on screen
its a 455 webley, the 38 was a enfield, it was with out the spur,, for tank operators, 38/200, a smallish 38,
how is that possible to have such an amazing collection?
Do you have a French WW1 display? Would love to see one.
Im sure he has a white flag.
@@yashvardhansinghsolanki6391 In WW1, the French held 80 percent of the Western front, took the brunt of the war, and bled the Germans white. Think about that before spewing bullshit, you ignorant fool
@@uncle7215 some one gets pissed off quite easily, your such a snow flake he was just joking. oh ye i forgot the french dont know what humor is after they got invaded by the Germans twice in both wars
@Pablo De la casa English is still the international language across the world don't forget that
@@mattiazeppini7921 chinesse gonna take you this just take their time 😉😂
So awesome, just wondering if you have much Canada stuff?
Very cool
Csnt wait for this man to do a Anzac display
Love these videos. Side note the airplanes your holding up from WW1 are Fokker DR1 triplanes, the twin guns were 8mm Spandau’s not Lewis, the Lewis gun was British not German.
The model planes are the ones that the Germans used not the British
I got a gun that was past down from my grandfather who was in ww1 he was Canadian and the gun is marked 1916 can any one help me know what it is it looks like a 303 it’s a bolt action rifle but i don’t think it’s a enfield
Really impressive. Do you also have a Canadian or a Dutch room ?
I loved the movie 1917! It was so realistic and the movie was filmed with only 2 shots
Its one shot
It’s zero shot
Pretty much everything I am seeing in this room is WW2 era and the battledress on the manikins is post war 50's era BUT everything he picks up or points out is WW1 era or used during WW1.
Badass movie, badass collection shout out to the homies across the pond !
Hi does anyone know if he has an online shop as I live in the uk🇬🇧 and want to start a ww1-2 surplus’s and memorabilia collection.
do you (Dragoman) have anything from the Anzacs in Gallipoli.
Do you have any kind of Russian/Soviet union room ?
This guy has the coolest life
At 1:04 These are not First World War uniforms they are from the 1940s. The webbing equipment is 38 pattern, issued at the start of WW2 until the 1950s early pouches had brass fittings the later were white metal anadized black which were used in Korea.
Think it's just a British section of his museum with a mixture of eras.
Shame he doesn't have much British WW1 stuff. Got to admire his enthusiasm though even if he is off here and there.
i love this man
Lmao my teacher thought ww1 started in 1917 and ended in 1917
It wont be surprising if he is not a history teacher.
Some teacher 🙄
Wrong uniform for 1917 but still Cool and the tunic on the World War II British uniform is postwar
Aw maaan you are awesome
Parabéns Deus abençoe essa coleção im from Brazil
I have a ww1 royal tank regiment cap badge passed down from my grandfather how do I sent it to dragon man?
Pat Magroin If you go to his website you can find his email. You can ask him on there ☺️
The lewis gun was a lmg and only used on the ground
they were used on planes aswell.
Yes I do like military history by the way
Is your museum haunted? So much emotion connected to all these items. I would not be surprised. Amazing collection well done. Wish I could visit
I wouldn't say haunted but it definitely is charged.
@@emau2459 I can definitely feel the negative ion vibration through the screen.
Why does the German plane have Lewis guns
It shouldn’t have the Germans did sometimes use captured weapons but they used the mg 08/15 it was a adaption of the maxim gun
Why are there German models in the British room at all?
They had twin Spandau machine guns
@@MrVolvobloke Might have just been moved there for the topic since the video was about WW1
I love this guy
you are the best
Australian soldier hit the red baron from under his plane with a 303 the british claimed it was in the air and took the credit.but upon examination it was a 303 what took him out.
I feel so proud knowing I've got that same binoculars and case from my great grandad
I have binoculars from my great granda as well but from ww2, he was in the Gordon Highlanders. Cool stuff to have.
@@weg5856 I'm a highlander myself, my grandad was an Irishman though, served in north Africa too Italy, what about urs?
Fingal Mcgerty He was in Africa and Italy as well, do you have his medals?
@@weg5856 yes I do, I moved recently so I would need to to fish them out but yes, have you got your great granddad's?
Fingal Mcgerty Yeah the stars are some nice looking medals.
I have watched it
this man is a legend
Does anyone know how that grenade launcher works?
Tyler Michael McDaniel It shoots a specifically grenade launcher blank
Great movie 👍,.
Dude. If I had all of this. And ww1 German stuff. I would go crazy.
As an owner of soldier toys I to call my self a collecter
Ruined this comment by using wrong to/too
You are so funny dragon man
The Fokker Dr.1 didn’t have Lewis Guns, but Maxim Machine guns
I’ve got a lot of my grandads, second uncles and nanas brothers stuff from both wars both army and navy. You might be interested in. All British stuff marine daggers uniforms medals decommissioned guns though
Is there a way you could show me it? I have a collection of British militaria. So interesting to see what families kept.
@@Harperslj I can show the medals from dads side on the weekend but the dagger n it’s sheath is at my mums so will have to be at a later date I can show you an exact one though then the real one next time I’m there Covid rules and my dads ins my bubble of who I can see. I’ll get in the lift to get uniforms out fir my dads dad( grandad) and as soon as I get access to mums side I’ll show you them too
I’ve even got my grandads on my mums side police uniform pre WW2 and just after WW2 when he rejoined
@@Harperslj this is as close to the dagger we have www.stewartsmilitaryantiques.com/british-wwii-fairbairnsykes-brass-handled-commando-knife.35079.archive.htm
But I’ll post pic if the actual one as soon as I get chance
Watches the movie,
Already has the props and merchandise.
Do you have an Australian display 🇦🇺
He keeps his complete collection of British nuclear weapons in the basement.
My great great grandad was in the cavalry he was at the somme he got kicked by a horse
I have won the world war
Field, ammo, crates, and the helmet
3:46 mom grampas at it again
Is there an Australian display?
It would probably just be put in with the British display as praticly we used the same kit...unless you want to include the 'clown cam' uniform as we call it in England (that uniform with just loads of orange circles on it)
i thought the planes they he showed at 2:42 were used by the germans?
Yes but in the film one got shot down and become important in the movie
Do all of your trucks work
Where's churchill's mummy?
he probably has Lawrence of Arabia's Rifle and Knife
Ww1 Webley use 455
P49 bd, lovely
Man I want a BCD gas mask so badly
The only prob is the British uniforms that you have are ww2 issued not WW1
I have 1
Sorry to tell you this but those are ww2 uniforms not ww1.
Twin SPANDAU machine guns. Lewis gun was British.
Carbeam
Do. you. Have a. us army. spec ops room
It was a good movie
They are ww2 uniforms, bayonet not correct, they had the hooked quilling to start off. They chopped the hook off because it got caught on shit in the trenches
Thank you for including The British in your amazing museum 🇬🇧🇺🇸💙💙
Hey Dragon man! Did you have a bb gun when growing up?
Ron Bianca Yes!
@@dragonmans7242 Hope to see it on display! Stay healthy.
Still I would like to visit, looks cool 😎 👌
Ex Royal Artillery veteran
A question to Dragonman ... do you have any displays from the Australian Army? My Grandfather fought on the Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea during World War 2.
That’s ww2 battle dress not ww1 pattern 14.
4:31 that gas mask was used by the police, paramedics, and firemen. Not the military...and damn you really need to get a grenadier uniform in there!
Big fan lots of ww2 british too
