I thought the thumbnails were intented for mobile users, but apparently not. Having no nice pictures kind of misses the point.

My thoughts exactly. I went there to see pictures, not read the article. The pictures are tiny...

#9The French Ministry of Defence has a public database of soldiers who died on duty during the 1st World War. I just found the entry for this officer:

The most interesting part is the Images link (with an eye): it will show you a scan of the official death certificate from 1918.
There are 1.3 millions soldiers in this database. 3 of them from my family.
