The 27-Year-Old Charlie Chaplin
Amazingly, Charlie Chaplin out of makeup looked a lot like one of his characters. Off-screen, Chaplin looked rather tired and disheveled in this picture. Perhaps he was just stepping off a long day of production. Chaplin was raised in a difficult home by an unsuccessful home where money was extremely scarce. He decided that the theatre would be his salvation and he departed from London to the United States where he quickly struck fame. He received inspiration for his character, the Tramp, from his recollections of his father. He described how “It was just released whole from somewhere deep within my father, it was really my father’s alter ego, the little boy who never grew up: ragged, cold, hungry, but still thumbing his nose at the world.”

The French Pooch Who Visited A Trench Filled With Seaforth Highlanders
The Central Powers waged a prolonged and horrifying conflict in Europe during World War I. This was the first time that this many nations became involved in a war, with people being sent to fight from all corners of the planet. The majority of these soldiers would have no idea what kind of hell they were being deployed to. The Scottish Seaforth Highlanders were one unit that entered the bitter trenches to give Germany a good fight. This was a collection of Scottish counties’ populations with the joining of the 72nd and 78th Highlanders. Their first deployment was to India, but they would soon join their European counterparts in the 1914 Battle of Givenchy in France.
