This week, the only WWI programming on C-SPAN3 comes on Monday and early Tuesday morning.  It’s the same program — “World War I Combat Artists,” a short program regarding pieces in the collections of the National Archives.  The first showing is at 3:15 p.m. CT Monday afternoon the 20th; the second showing is exactly twelve hours later at 3:15 a.m. CT early Tuesday morning the 21st.
