Old photos of the Eight-Power Coalition from 120 years ago!

During the war, the total strength of the coalition army reached more than 120,000 people (the actual number of troops participating in the battle was about 30,000 or 40,000), equipped with more than 270 artillery pieces, except for the Japanese 5th Division for the reorganization, the rest were mostly temporarily patchwork. The troops dispatched by countries with a large number of troops generally have infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, heavy troops, railway troops, boat and bridge troops, and there are telecommunications teams, automobile teams, medical and health teams (or field hospitals), field arsenals, grain supply teams, hydrogen teams (British and French troops), miscellaneous service teams and other service detachments. The Allied forces were equipped with the world's most sophisticated infantry, machine guns and artillery at that time, and all guns and shells used smokeless gunpowder.
