Домен
ghostsof1914.com
Состояние доменного имени
?
Проверяем корректность доменного имени и наличие технических проблем на уровне домена.
Длина домена велика. Но если вы продвигаете запрос, входящий в название домена, то это хорошо.
Домен второго уровня идеален для продвижения.
Ответ сервера
200 Успешный ответ
HTTP-код ответа и цепочка редиректов
?
Код 200 — страница доступна. Коды 3xx — редиректы (цепочки замедляют загрузку и размывают ссылочный вес). Коды 4xx/5xx — ошибки, поисковик не сможет проиндексировать страницу.
Сервер настроен корректно.

Безопасность
Сайт небезопасен
Использование HTTPS и SSL-сертификат
?
HTTPS — обязательный стандарт. Google и Яндекс отдают предпочтение защищённым сайтам. Отсутствие SSL или просроченный сертификат ведут к предупреждениям в браузере и снижению позиций.
На сайте не найден защищенный протокол ssl и сайт не открывается по https!
Не настроен HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) — рекомендуется включить.
HTTP автоматически перенаправляется на HTTPS.
Поздравляем! Сайт не содержится в реестре РКН.
Кодировка
utf-8
Кодировка символов страницы
?
Стандарт — UTF-8. Неправильная кодировка вызывает нечитаемые символы и мешает поисковику корректно распознать текст страницы.
Указана кодировка на странице utf-8.
Язык
Атрибут lang в HTML-теге
?
Атрибут lang (<html lang="ru">) сообщает поисковикам и браузерам, на каком языке написана страница. Помогает при ранжировании в региональном поиске.
Язык страницы не указан. Рекомендуется явно указать язык документа!
Скорость загрузки
~0,45сек
Время отклика сервера (TTFB)
?
Time To First Byte — время до получения первого байта от сервера. Норма до 200 мс. Медленный отклик ухудшает пользовательский опыт и ранжирование: Яндекс и Google учитывают скорость страниц.
Скорость загрузки сайта 0,45сек оптимальна.
Объем документа
126Кб
Размер HTML-кода страницы
?
Слишком большой HTML замедляет парсинг браузером и сканирование поисковым роботом. Рекомендуется не более 200 Кб.
Объем html-документа 126Кб оптимален.
Структура html-документа корректна.
Ресурсы
Ресурсы: 5
Внешние ресурсы страницы (CSS, JS, изображения)
?
Количество и тип подключённых ресурсов влияют на скорость загрузки. Большое число запросов увеличивает время рендеринга страницы.
Кол-во файлов ресурсов 5 достаточно.

Серверные заголовки
Кол-во: 8
HTTP-заголовки ответа сервера
?
Заголовки сервера передают браузеру и поисковику служебную информацию: кеширование, безопасность (CSP, HSTS), сжатие (gzip). Правильная настройка ускоряет загрузку и повышает защищённость.
Найдены серверные заголовки 8шт. Подробнее про серверные заголовки.

CMS
WordPress
Система управления сайтом (движок)
?
CMS — это движок, на котором работает сайт (WordPress, 1C-Bitrix, Tilda и др.). Знание CMS помогает понять возможности SEO-оптимизации и подобрать подходящие инструменты. «Не определена» — вероятно, самописный сайт или нестандартная сборка.
Сайт работает на CMS WordPress.
Веб-сервер
Google Frontend
Программное обеспечение сервера
?
Веб-сервер — это ПО, которое отдаёт страницы посетителям (nginx, Apache, IIS, LiteSpeed и др.). Определяется по серверным заголовкам ответа (Server, X-Powered-By и т.п.). «Не определён» — сервер намеренно скрывает эти заголовки, это нормальная практика безопасности.
Сайт работает на веб-сервере Google Frontend.
Мета-теги Готовность: 48%
Title
Ghosts of 1914
Заголовок страницы в браузере и поисковой выдаче
?
Title — главный SEO-заголовок страницы. Влияет на CTR в поиске и ранжирование. Оптимальная длина: 50–70 символов. Ключевые слова — ближе к началу.
Необходимо увеличить число символов в title (текущее значение мало: 18, минимум: 25, оптимально: от 40 до 45)
Дублей словоформ в title не найдено.
Description
Описание страницы в поисковой выдаче (сниппет)
?
Meta Description — текст под заголовком в выдаче. Напрямую на позиции не влияет, но влияет на CTR. Оптимальная длина: 120–160 символов.
Установите мета-тег description!
Keywords
Список ключевых слов страницы (устаревший тег)
?
Meta Keywords не учитывается Яндексом и Google для ранжирования с 2009–2012 годов. Заполнение не обязательно, но не вредит. Конкурент может использовать содержимое для анализа.
Установите мета-тег keywords!
Канонический Url
http://www.ghostsof1914.com/
Указывает поисковику основную версию страницы
?
Canonical (rel=canonical) предотвращает проблему дублей страниц. Должен точно совпадать с URL проверяемой страницы. Неправильный canonical может передать ссылочный вес на другую страницу.
Канонический Url прописан корректно.
Robots
Ошибок нет
Директивы для поисковых роботов на уровне страницы
?
Meta Robots управляет индексацией конкретной страницы: index/noindex — индексировать ли, follow/nofollow — следовать ли по ссылкам. Noindex полностью исключает страницу из поиска.
Meta-тег robots не указан. Страница свободна для индексации.
Адаптивность
width=1100
Настройка масштабирования на мобильных устройствах
?
Тег viewport (<meta name="viewport">) сообщает браузеру, как масштабировать страницу на мобильных. Стандарт: width=device-width, initial-scale=1. Отсутствие — признак отсутствия мобильной версии.
Meta-тег viewport со значением width задаёт фиксированную ширину области просмотра.
Разметка OpenGraph
Кол-во: 3
Мета-теги для красивых превью в соцсетях
?
OpenGraph (og:title, og:description, og:image) управляет тем, как страница выглядит при репосте в социальных сетях и мессенджерах. Отсутствие OG-тегов — невзрачный превью при шеринге.
Разметка OpenGraph задана. Страница оптимизирована под социальные сети.

Структура
Ошибок нет
Семантические HTML-элементы страницы
?
Проверяет наличие основных структурных элементов: nav, header, footer, main. Корректная семантическая структура помогает поисковику понять архитектуру страницы.
Структура документа корректна (теги <html> и <body> присутствуют по одному на документ).
Контент
Есть ошибки
Объём и качество текстового содержимого
?
Анализирует объём полезного текста на странице. Слишком мало — страница может считаться малополезной. Слишком много — ухудшается читаемость и восприятие.
Абзацев с текстом 1 слишком мало. Добавьте больше абзацев с текстом (тег <p>)!
Среднее число слов в абзаце 7 слишком мало. Сделайте контент более читаемым!
Слова из title 3 встречаются в тексте достаточно.
Кол-во знаков контента 24381 на странице оптимально.
Кол-во слов 4098 на странице оптимально.
Заголовки
Ошибок нет
Иерархия заголовков H1–H6
?
H1 должен быть один и содержать ключевой запрос. H2–H6 описывают подразделы. Пропуск уровней (H1 → H3) и несколько H1 — типичные ошибки, снижающие понятность страницы для поисковика.
На странице присутствуют заголовки <h1> 1. Это прекрасно.
На странице присутствуют заголовки <h2> 14. Это хорошо.
На странице присутствуют заголовки <h3> 7.
Тошнота
3,87
Насколько одно слово доминирует в тексте
?
Классическая тошнота = √(частота самого повторяющегося слова). Норма до 7–8: текст воспринимается естественно. Выше — поисковик может счесть страницу переспамленной.
Тошнота страницы в пределах нормы 3,87.
Академич. тошнота
21,60%
Насколько текст перенасыщен ключевыми словами
?
Академическая тошнота = (частота слова / общее количество слов) × 100%. Показывает долю конкретного слова в тексте. Норма 5–15%.
Академическая тошнота превышает норму 5-15%. Измените текст страницы!
Семантическое ядро

Hello, dear readers,<br />
The 1918 Armistice centenary is at hand, and commemorations are ongoing around the world.<br />
<br />
I attended my local Veterans' Day parade last weekend, and there was a special Armistice ceremony afterwards. We sat in a 1930s Spanish Revival veterans' hall, folding chairs creaking as attendees filtered in and sat. Ornate chandeliers hung from the dark wood ceiling. The bright blue sky was visible through the high windows. The space had (what I consider) the pleasant, faint scent that only decades-old gathering spaces have--a sort of hushed mingling of dusty curtains, scrubbed metal counters in the adjoining kitchen, whispers of perfume and aftershave, leather shoes, coffee, cleaning fluids and wood polish that builds up subtly over the years. Generations gather and disperse here, for events momentous and mundane.<br />
<br />
A band played patriotic songs as attendees took their seats, and soon it was time for the national anthem. All stood as the flag was walked in by an honor guard and all eyes were fixed on the flag, with hands and hats on hearts, as the anthem played.<br />
<br />
The flag before us was a familiar symbol, a sign of what we had come to honor and what those we honored had gazed upon and been inspired by. But, to me, it was also something that seemed unsettled, charged with a certain restlessness that I had not seen in it before.<br />
<br />
We live in uncertain times. I'm often reminded these days that, though history might once have seemed or been taught to us as a reliable foundation for the present, a space cordoned off in memory, deep below, in which tragic or painful truths played out and were reckoned with so as to support our progress and betterment, it is, in fact, not elsewhere. History is here, history is now. The past and present are bound together, evolving continuously, reliant on our memory and understanding, our willingness to engage with their truths and the responsibility we have as their stewards. Signs and symbols, ideals, on which we rely to define who we are, what we believe, what we defend, what we offer to our fellow humans, are not such comfortably fixed marks as we might like to think. They require our persistent commemoration and engagement.<br />
<br />
Our dear ghosts of 1914 deserve our commemoration and engagement, not so much because they are denizens of a past long gone, now at a distance of a hundred years or more, but as fellow navigators of a world fraught with recurrent conflict, where lofty ideals and human truths intersect, sometimes redefining one another.<br />
<br />
On this Armistice anniversary and Veterans' Day, I encourage you to honor and thank veterans past and present. Let the Ghosts of 1914 inspire you to give your time, resources, and/or attention to military service members or veterans in your family or community.<br />
<br />
May our commemoration of the first day of peace in 1918 be a reminder to love and seek peace in our time as well.<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading,<br />
Fiona<br />

Hello, dear readers,<br />
The steady gears of history keep on turning...<br />
<br />
One hundred years ago, the Great War became even more global. The United States entered the conflict officially with Congress's vote to declare war on Germany, on 6th April, 1917.<br />
<br />
In recognition of this anniversary for our Ghosts of 1917, I went searching for some digital archival items. Here is an initial assortment; more soon. In the meantime, t<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_entry_into_World_War_I">he Wikipedia article on the U.S. entry into wa</a>r is commendably thorough in its content and citations.<br />

<br />
Hello, dear readers,<br />
I hope you are enjoying a very happy holiday season. In the past days, my mind has turned many times to the ghosts of the 1914 Christmas truce, those soldiers who, despite the appearance or assumption of complete and bitter opposition, chose to set aside their differences in the spirit of togetherness and shared joy. They celebrated something bigger than themselves and, in so doing, they found that peace can be chosen--that peace can be lived.<br />
<br />
While this event and the story have a certain magic to them, there is nothing particularly supernatural or fantastical about the Christmas truce. It was a human decision, a collective conscious gravitation away from conflict.<br />
<br />
We have much to learn from these ghosts of Christmas 1914. Crossing the artificial divides that we build around ourselves, choosing peace, choosing tolerance, understanding, and care, acting daily on behalf of these values and their continuance. Even our ghosts could not make this chosen peace last any longer than a single Christmastime, but we can accept what is still a remarkable gift and try to keep it all the year.<br />
<br />
I will close this post with a quote<a href="http://www.ghostsof1914.com/2014/11/invoking-ghosts-of-1914-at-christmastime.html"> from one of my previous holiday posts here at Ghosts of 1914</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><br /></i>The real message of the Christmas Truce has nothing to do with any shop, business, or any commercial objective, no matter who presumes to put their stamp on the telling of its story or how a retailer might seek to stir our emotions. Those of us who have long been moved by this event have known that the real message is something that belongs to everyone; it is a gift that can never be transformed into a commodity. And what is that message? It's a simple one, in my opinion. "This was possible", the ghosts of the Christmas Truce tell us, giving us a glimpse of the desire for peace that lives in all of us.</blockquote>

Hello, dear readers,<br />
What a week it's been here in the United States! What a time of division and darkness we seem to be facing at the moment.<br />
<br />
We are just beyond the precipice of an unscripted future. It has been a difficult few days. Our shock and fear, however, at feeling the ground beneath us disappear and all else recede above us must turn to action. We must get our feet beneath us once again; we must reach out and look for one another amidst what feels like a free fall in utter darkness. Minds and hearts must be opened. We must step free of the echo chambers and enchanted mirrors with which we surround ourselves too frequently online and otherwise. We must choose to hear and see one another clearly, to understand that which we do not know, and to care for one another as best we can.<br />
<br />
One of the first things I did on Wednesday morning was to make some donations to causes that matter to me. These contributions were my way of acknowledging the far greater value that I feel these organizations represent and that we should never take for granted. My fearfulness receded a tiny bit when I realized that it is not only still possible, but completely crucial, to stand up for and stand alongside those whose wellbeing is challenged, whose visibility is endangered. Sharing what we have of time or other resources, giving recognition, and showing compassion--these are things we should strive always to do. Now, however, more than ever, they feel like at least part of the balm so many of us could use. Our feelings of vulnerability, invisibility, and fear can be transformed into opportunities to connect, to see, and to help.<br />
<br />
This all brings me to the reason for my post tonight. It is the eve of Veterans, or Armistice, Day, November 11th. This day has had a significance of many facets for me over the last five years of blogging here and the last several years of communing with the ghosts of 1914. As ever, the 11th is an opportunity to step outside of ourselves, our present time and circumstances, our everyday routines, and to recognize the sacrifices, stories, realities, and needs of those who have served their countries in uniform.<br />
<br />
To the men and women who have served in war- and peacetime, I give thanks. To my readers, I issue my usual encouragement to give thanks and support to veterans on this or any day. Some options for charitable giving are listed here. I have no affiliation with any particular charity or organization, but I hope that you take this opportunity to contribute time, a donation, or some other expression of care and recognition.<br />

Hello, dear readers,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having just gotten back from a trip to beautiful Los Angeles, it seems fitting to write about the silver screen tonight.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just recently, my husband and I sat down with some popcorn to watch <i>Hell's Angels</i>, Howard Hughes's 1930 epic about the Great War. I must admit, I was not sure what to expect of this film; though I was aware of its subject matter and some of the drama surrounding its production, I did not know much else about it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An episode of the excellent podcast, <a href="http://www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/">You Must Remember This</a>, had rekindled our interest in the movie and we moved it to the top of our DVD delivery service queue. The confluence of modern technologies by which the film manifested in our living room seems a fitting frame for the viewing experience; <i>Hell's Angels </i>has an arresting freshness untroubled by the eight decades that stand between its making and modern viewers. Though it often gets rather short critical shrift, I am unconvinced by those who claim that the film's production history eclipses the movie itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Hell's Angels</i> features simply awe-inspiring aeronautical stunt sequences and a human drama mirrored by the incredible rise and fall of the flying machines that defy gravity and belief as they arc through the air...There are multitudes of details, themes, and other aspects that one might address in any critical take on this film. I'll focus this post on just a couple of them.<br />
<br />
And without further ado...<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>*** England's dreaming *** </b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While the film and its actors, for the most part, are American, the story is set in England and Europe. Both places are depicted in times of pre-war innocence and during the grimmer war years. In particular, however, the film anchors itself in an idealized England, a place and time seen as though through a pleasant (Hollywood-mediated) haze, with a sort of nostalgia or longing built into scenes of carousing university students and lavish parties. In the pre-war years, England represents a space of temporary union and friendship for the two British protagonists, Roy and Monte, and their university classmate, a young man summoned against his will to return home to Germany for military service near the film's beginning. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The dreamy pre-war England of <i>Hell's Angels</i> is defined not only by ephemerality but by a chimerical evasiveness. The film suggests that this place might not exist at all. Like an illusion that lives only on the silver screen, <i>Hell's Angels</i> acknowledges that the England that means so much to some of its characters might be no more than the stuff of dreams. As various characters learn, just as soon as their desire for this place seems to shift to belonging, it--the old-world values, innocence, and the promises it seems to make--seems to disappear, leaving its would-be denizens heir only to a cold awakening, a rougher modernity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>*** Time travel ***</b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is no explicit time travel in this film. However, just as it becomes difficult to separate the real from the imagined pre-war England, the past and the present--both the wartime present within the film and the post-war moment of the film's making--maintain a complicated entanglement throughout. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div>
Early in the film, a chivalric pistol duel is depicted in silhouette, abstracting the setting and characters to harken back to previous centuries. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The scene precedes the war's advent in the film, but it foreshadows later encounters between two characters who represent not only opposing nations but generations locked into conflict. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some time later, a lovely color sequence depicts a ball given just as soldiers prepare to leave for war. Jean Harlow, who plays Roy's promised love interest but Monte's irresistible temptress, is dazzling in a gauzy chiffon and jeweled gown. She is a confident but self-absorbed character, resistant to the old-fashioned future to which she seems doomed because of her connection to the rather conservative Roy.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While Roy seems to hail from an older world than his counterparts, Harlow's Helen is like a visitor from another time altogether, a kind of futuristic Hollywood yankee in King Arthur's court, if you will. Her modern sensibility distances her from both men, especially the idealistic Roy. She is unconcerned about her reputation amongst her fusty contemporaries or the degree to which they share her vision of the present and the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As they register on film, Helen's appearance and attitude are rather jarring. She is not a particularly sympathetic character, but there is something perhaps compelling, or at least startlingly recognizable, in her manner and look. They appear out of time within the film; Helen seems aware that she does not belong to the world that surrounds her. In truth, she looks like she belongs in ours. Just as Roy and others long for an illusory past, Helen seems a harbinger of a world beyond the present, beyond the war.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Helen looks forward, fearlessly. Her suitors see only a heavily mediated version of her--something angelic or devilish, held up only to the somewhat dim light of the present moment. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
...</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'll stop here for this evening. There is so much to say about this film! I'll follow up this post with another on the fascinating story of the Royal Flying Corps, whose history <i>Hell's Angels</i> prompted me to study.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cheers,<br />

Hello dear readers,<br />
<br />
A little note tonight to share with you a charming piece of Great War era music...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
In an episode of the recent television drama, <i><a href="http://www.pbs.org/program/crimson-field/">The Crimson Field</a></i>, the three main characters, all young VADs, perform a song together for the benefit of field hospital patients and staff. The sweet and wistful song caught my attention and I decided to learn what I could about it.<br />
<br />
As it turns out, not only was "There's a Long, Long, Trail" a most popular Great War tune, but its history also traces back to one of my <i>almae matres</i>.<br />
<br />
The song was composed in 1913 by two Yale undergraduates, Alonzo Elliott and Stoddard King. The story goes that the two young men dreamed up the lyrics and melody one lazy afternoon on campus.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/53/UB_TheresALongLogTrail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/53/UB_TheresALongLogTrail.jpg" width="238" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/53/UB_TheresALongLogTrail.jpg">1914 sheet music cover</a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Elliott and King were not soldiers, and the war had not even begun when they wrote this song. And yet, "There's a Long, Long, Trail" seems to have lent itself well to the experiences and sentiments of many of our ghosts of 1914, whether combatant or civilian.<br />
<br />
Full of gentle words of longing, the song contrasts a dreamy, moonlit, space that unites the singer and his or her love with the "long, long trail" keeping the two apart. A closeness, all too evanescent, is conjured up in memory and imagination, though reality sets "many a weary mile" between the two lovers.<br />
<br />
The song traces the singer's path from a point of loneliness at the far end of the trail to a hoped-for reunion in which the two lovers walk beside one another. Time and distance work against the singer and his or her love at first, constituting the arduous trail that separates them. Ultimately, however, the song suggests that time and distance (covered) are the very things that will bring the lovers back to one another. In the meantime, dreams will have to do.<br />
<br />
A couple of the recordings of "The Long, Long Trail" available for your listening pleasure:<br />

Hello, dear readers,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Ghosts of 1914 are here today to add to our little collection of pigeon posts. Previously, we've reviewed a bit of the history of <a href="http://ghostsof1914.blogspot.com/2014/06/carrier-pigeons-tweeting-oh-what.html">Chere Amie</a>, the brave messenger pigeon, and <a href="http://ghostsof1914.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-passenger-pigeon-avian-ghost-of-1914.html">Martha</a>, the last of the passenger pigeon species that was once enormously plentiful in the United States.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For this pigeon series, I wanted to step back and get a better sense of the story of combat pigeons in the First World War. I've been filling in some answers to the who, what, where, why, and when questions with which I started my research. Slowly, but surely, I've drummed up some details on the history of combat pigeons in the Great War. I'll tell this story in parts; today's installation sets the stage with some essential background information.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To start, Cher Amie and Martha were not members of the same species, in case you were wondering. Combat (sometimes called "messenger", which, as I'll explain later, doesn't really describe the extent of their combat roles completely) pigeons were, as far as I've been able to gather, strictly of the homing variety.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<i>[T]he whole secret of carrier pigeon service depends upon the attachment of the pigeon for its home, no matter how distant that may be...</i></blockquote>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Homing pigeons are known and have long been bred for a remarkable ability to fly 'home', averaging impressive speeds and covering great distances. These birds are equipped with what seems an as-yet-not-fully-pinpointed biological navigational system that allows them, when released, to point themselves homewards and simply <i>go</i>!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some have speculated that the homing pigeon uses magnetic navigation, while others have pointed to a subtle innate sound-based biotechnology. Yet others have proffered a sense of smell as the reason for this bird's wondrous gift.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whatever the source of their magic, homing pigeons have a few thousand years of messenger service and sporting history across Asia and the Middle East. In the last two hundred years, their talents became even more widely known and employed. Major destinations in the long-haul flight of homing pigeon history in Europe, the United States, and elsewhere include</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
By the time of the Great War, homing pigeons were recognized for their speed, endurance, reliability, and efficiency as carriers for crucial information. This species was well-established as a viable communications option, particularly in conditions that made other technologies impossible. While some might consider pigeons a rather rudimentary system alongside such contemporary communications tools as radio and telegraphy, I'm learning that the art and science of pigeon messaging was just as sophisticated, complex, and daring as any others. In fact, as recently as 2009, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homing_pigeon#In_computing">a homing pigeon beat a South African DSL service</a> in a (rather amusing) data transfer contest. Messenger pigeons show us that modern machinery does not always outperform a bit of ingenious collaboration between the human and animal world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In our next posts, we'll dig into the nuts and bolts of pigeon training, transportation, and service on the Great War battlefront. Till then, we're sending this post off to wing its way to you.</div>
