Greatmacscott Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Is there any information, stories or pictures about marbles being played during world war one? The National World War One Museum is interested in a presentation about marbles during the war and I am researching. I have seen a picture of a doughboy playing marbles on a road in France. Does anyone know about other examples? Thanks, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I used to have free access to NewspaperArchive.com. I would have gotten started over there by looking for marbles stories during the war years. But my library's subscription to that ended in July. Darn it.

Al Oregon Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Scott - I'm sure you have checked but maybe Craig Snider has some information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spara50 Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I have searched all of my paper archives and can't find anything other than the postcard of the soldier shooting marbles. That is a tough time period. Lot's of period pictures of children, but anything related to soldiers is a tough find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Wait - are you looking for era photos of kids playing - or photos of GIs playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatmacscott Posted August 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Ideally related to soldiers or kids in Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
