Some of the white Pines on Fair Haven Hill have just reached the acme of their fall;–others have almost entirely shed their leaves, and they are scattered over the ground and the walls. The same is the state of the Pitch pines. At the Cliffs I find the wasps prolonging their short lives on the sunny rocks just as they endeavored to do at my house in the woods. It is a little hazy as I look into the west today. The shrub oaks on the terraced plain are now almost uniformly of a deep red. HDT WHAT?

    education guide t Education Guide Passchendaele A MESSAGE TO TEACHERS his innovative Education Guide accompanies the highly acclaimed Canadian T production of Passchendaele. Its purpose is to enhance your students’ learning and appreciation of the pivotal role that this 1917 battle played within Canadian history. !e questions and activities of the Guide also aim to have students examine issues and situations from both an individual, humanistic point of view as well as from a macro perspective. Structured around four primary sources from the First World War, this Guide asks students to think, and to empathize as they analyze and deconstruct those pieces of Photo: Farah Nosh evidence. !is generic approach allows teachers to select those sources, those questions, and those activities that are most appropriate to their students and to the constraints of time. We sincerely believe that whether students respond to a single question or answer all of them, their comprehension and understanding of the Battle of Passchendaele speci"cally, and of First World War generally, will be greatly expanded. “I stood up and looked over TABLE OF CONTENTS the !ont of my hole.

  • Modern Warfare and Its Legacy the "First" World War?
    Modern Warfare and its Legacy The "First" World War? In the dry moat of the Tower of London, artist Paul Cummings placed 888,246 ceramic poppies; each flower represents a British and Commonwealth military fatality during World War I. By the end of WWI, an estimated 8.5 million people died worldwide from wounds or disease.© 2015 The Associated Press From 1914 to 1918, a terrible war waged across the planet. The war was fought across the whole of Europe and Africa, deep into the Middle East, on several Pacific Islands and mainland China, and off the coasts of North and South America. Because of the breadth of the destruction, we now refer to this war as a World War—the First World War. But was it really the first? Earlier wars involved many countries over multiple continents, such as the Napoleonic Wars and the Seven Years War. Yet, people at the time knew that something was new about this war. Compared to previous wars in their memory, it was more destructive and more deadly. It was also more modern, with technologies from the new century used to efficiently kill soldiers and destroy lands. It was a total war because the war hit civilians and their property as well as soldiers on the battlefield. Because of this intensity, people at the time called it the Great War. Only after the start of another war in 1939, which divided the world along similar lines, did people refer to the war that began in 1914 as World War I. Although World War I did set up many of the conflicts, alliances, and grievances that led to World War II, it was not merely a precursor to the later war.

  • News from the Front Line April 2013
    In Association with the CWGC News from the Front line April 2013 I am a bit of a technophobe albeit having trained as an Engineer during my time in the Royal Navy but as things have got smaller and my eyes a bit baggier I have erred away from modern technology. Blackberries are what I still collect in the Autumn to have with apples in a pie, Samsung I thought was a Chinese dumpling, Note Books, complete with graphite pencil were just that and Tom Tom was a black and white TV kids programme which if I recall correctly the theme tune was ‘A Walk in the Black Forest’. I succumbed recently and finally got the SATNAV version of the Tom Tom prior to a maiden voyage to Manchester to join the CWGC at an event. Fairly straightforward up but I did not fancy referring to my printed Google maps whilst driving in the city. I must say I was impressed. A little perturbed when it made a ‘bing bong’ sound like calling a steward on an aircraft but it was just telling me I was breaking the law having just gone over the speed limit. I had not sorted out the night time driving option to reduce the screen light (I left at 3 am) so found myself driving along the M40 at night with my sun glasses on as I could not be bothered to ‘faff’ around with the controls. I even beat the estimated time for arrival home by two minutes! I am now looking forward to using it to find ‘off the beaten track’ cemeteries once I sort out how to input Lat.

More than 25 countries eventually participated, aligned with either the Allied or the Central powers. The Allies—who won the war—included primarily France, Great Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and, from 1917, the United States. The Central Powers consisted mainly of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire (Turkey). World War I felled four great imperial dynasties, in Germany, Russia, Austria- Hungary, and Turkey.

  • World War 1: America's Role on the Western Front
    World War 1: America’s Role on the Western Front Ellen Resnek Lesson Plan FPRI America’s Entry into World War I: A History Institute for Teachers April 9-10, 2016 First Division Museum at Cantigny 1 In this lesson, students will examine the American Strategy of the Great War, including battle strategies on the Western Front. Students will additionally analyze other causes for the German collapse that led to the end of the war and an eventual but fragile peace. Standards: NCSS objective #3: IV – Individual Development & Identity e) – examine the interactions of ethnic, national, or cultural influences in specific situations or events… NCSS objective #5: VII – Production, Distribution, & Consumption h) – apply economic concepts and reasoning when evaluating historical and contemporary social developments and issues. Overview: WWI remains one of the bloodiest and most destructive wars ever. Its global impact on humanity was devastating. The allied and central powers leading the battles -- Germany, France, and Britain - did not make any great gains, despite their efforts to advance their positions, and suffered and inflicted extraordinary casualties. The Battle of Verdun, for example, lasted nine months. The French casualties amounted to about 400,000, German ones to about 350,000; some 300,000 were killed. Thanks in large part to assistance from the United States, the allies were able to stop a German assault on the Western Front. Consequently, German support for the war dissolved and a cease-fire was put into effect in November 1918. The entry of the United States into the war in 1917 was key to Germany's military collapse and the end of the military stalemate.
