Stasneck for the students of Claremont McKenna College. Without the two grants I received through the Stasneck Fellowship for Archival Research, I never would have found the primary sources that form the foundation of this thesis. I also would like to thank the archivists of the Churchill Archives Center, the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum, the National World War I Memorial Museum, and the Kansas City Public Library. Their enthusiastic assistance made my first experience conducting archival research a pleasant one. I owe a debt of gratitude to the Cheek family for opening their home in Cambridge, UK, to me for two weeks in the summer of 2019 as I conducted archival research and for remaining some of my family’s dearest friends for decades. I can say with confidence that my days in Cambridge were among the most memorable and introspective of my life. To all the history faculty who devoted their time to me and my peers, I could never articulate how much you taught me not only about our field, but about myself. This includes both the incredible history teachers I had the privilege of learning from in high school and the distinguished professors of CMC’s History Department. I especially want to thank Professor Wendy Lower. Although I began writing this thesis in the late summer of 2019, it was not until I took your class on the Great War the following autumn that I discovered the purpose of this project. No one, however, devoted more of their time to cultivating my historical acumen than Professor Jonathan Petropoulos. Nearly five years ago as a senior in high school touring CMC, I met Professor Petropoulos for the first time and spoke with him about the school for the better part of an hour. I did not realize at the time that I would eventually take three of his classes and that he would serve as the advisor and reader of this project which represents the zenith of my undergraduate academic career. Professor, I owe so much of the last four years to you, and I look forward to what I am sure will be a long friendship ahead. Lery, Tobin, and Gabe, you will always represent the other three corners of my tetrarchy, and I am so grateful that you refused to let this project devour me over the past year. I also need to reaffirm my adoration for my “life coach,” Melia Wong, and my favorite Army lieutenant, Lindsay Burton, for their guidance and encouragement over the past four years. I also want to thank Lauren Broidy for her devotion not only as a friend but also as an editor of this project. Most importantly, I would like to thank my family for their steadfast love throughout my life. My parents, John and Shelly, drilled the importance of education into me from a young age and made many sacrifices to help me get where I am today. To my brothers, Jackson and Matthew, thank you for your patience with me over the last two decades. I find it comforting to know that no matter what happens, I always have two siblings (and friends) I can rely on in life. I am also indebted to my delightful grandparents who fostered my love for storytelling and history as I grew up. Especially given the trying circumstances of a global pandemic, I have never been more appreciative of my family.

Through analysis of original documents from the Churchill Archive Center, the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum, and the archives of the National World War I Museum, this project contends that the years 1914-1918 became a common point of reference and reflection for these three leaders—especially in their private musings and public rhetoric during World War II. Additionally, primary evidence reveals that the personal narratives of wartime service that these three veterans crafted simultaneously shaped and reflected their countries’ national narratives of the conflict. Churchill played into and popularized the notion of the Great War bringing an end to the “glory” of the nineteenth century. Hitler doctored his reflections of the war in Mein Kampf to convey the Imperial German High Command’s “Stab-in-the-Back” myth accusing Jews and Marxists for German defeat in November 1918. In his written reflections, Truman noted that most Americans failed to remember their nation’s brief participation in the First World War—a sentiment that aligned with the idea of the conflict as America’s “Forgotten War.” Additionally, all three spoke of the two World Wars as a single, contiguous conflict. Examining these three people during the Great War thus reveals the role of shared experience in generational theory as well as the intersection between individual and collective memory. Sage viii Preface As my horse and I neared what I knew must be the road, enemy shells began exploding after their whining and shrieking descent too close for comfort. There were many of them and they seemed to be concentrated only about half the length of a football field upon a spot to my right front. Then I heard the clatter of a horse’s hooves coming wildly toward me and I knew that he was right at the edge of the road. I pulled my horse behind a tree trunk. Looking around it, as the running horse came abreast of me, I saw a sight that will remain etched upon my mind, together with many others, as long as I live. By the instant but quickly recurring flashes of exploding shells, I saw that the running horse had been hard hit, bleeding badly and was seeking safety from an unseen enemy in the only way he knew, flight. The sight was sickening as was the thought that so many innocent animals will pay the penalty for the hatred, greed, and violence of human beings who among all living creatures should know better how to live peacefully. Captain Keith W. Dancy Battery A, 129th Field Artillery Regiment Vosges Mountains, France, August 19181 Captain Keith Dancy was 25 years old when, by the flashes of artillery fire, he witnessed a bleeding horse gallop on a road outside of the French town of Kruth on the Western Front. The Great War plucked the young Missourian from a calm and hopeful life in the American Heartland and flung him into the mud and blood of the Vosges Mountains and the Meuse- Argonne. Few of Captain Dancy’s men had ever left their home state of Missouri prior to the war; only a couple had seen the ocean before boarding their troop-transport ship in Halifax, Nova Scotia. But six months after saying farewell to his family and his tranquil life, the Captain stood in terror and disgust of that bloodstained horse—a living embodiment of the Red Horseman of War from the Book of Revelations—running itself to death in the Vosges. Indeed, the Great War wrought destruction and despair on an apocalyptic scale. By the time the war ended on November 11, 1918, 20 million people—both soldiers and civilians—lay dead and another 21 million bore grievous physical wounds.2 The cataclysm of 1914-1918 also 1 Scrapbook record of Battery A, 129th Field Artillery, AEF, 1919, SC90, Box 1, Missouri Valley Special Collections, Kansas City Public Library, Kansas City, Missouri. 2 Christopher Clark, The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 (New York: Harper Perennial, 2013), xxi.

His death in that conflict meant that this was a career that lasted barely twenty years; however it comprised a large range of creative endeavours. Although all these facets of Whistler’s career are touched upon, the main focus is on his work in murals and the fields of advertising and commercial design. The thesis goes beyond the remit of a purely biographical stance and places Whistler’s career in context by looking at the contemporary art world in which he worked, and the private, commercial and public commissions he secured. In doing so, it aims to provide a more comprehensive account of Whistler’s achievement than has been afforded in any of the existing literature or biographies. This deeper examination of the artist’s practice has been made possible by considerable amounts of new factual information derived from the Whistler Archive and other archival sources.

  • The Need for a New Naval History of the First World War James Goldrick
    Corbett Paper No 7 The need for a New Naval History of The First World War James Goldrick The Corbett Centre for Maritime Policy Studies November 2011 The need for a New Naval History of the First World War James Goldrick Key Points . The history of naval operations in the First World War urgently requires re- examination. With the fast approaching centenary, it will be important that the story of the war at sea be recognised as profoundly significant for the course and outcome of the conflict. There is a risk that popular fascination for the bloody campaign on the Western Front will conceal the reality that the Great War was also a maritime and global conflict. We understand less of 1914-1918 at sea than we do of the war on land. Ironically, we also understand less about the period than we do for the naval wars of 1793-1815. Research over the last few decades has completely revised our understanding of many aspects of naval operations. That work needs to be synthesized and applied to the conduct of the naval war as a whole. There are important parallels with the present day for modern maritime strategy and operations in the challenges that navies faced in exercising sea power effectively within a globalised world. Gaining a much better understanding of the issues of 1914-1918 may help cast light on some of the complex problems that navies must now master. James Goldrick is a Rear Admiral in the Royal Australian Navy and currently serving as Commander of the Australian Defence College.

  • The Reformation of the Generations: Age, Ancestry and Memory in England 1500-1700
    The Reformation of the Generations: Age, Ancestry and Memory in England 1500-1700 Folger Shakespeare Library Spring Semester Seminar 2016 Alexandra Walsham (University of Cambridge): [email protected] The origins, impact and repercussions of the English Reformation have been the subject of lively debate. Although it is now widely recognised as a protracted process that extended over many decades and generations, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the links between the life cycle and religious change. Did age and ancestry matter during the English Reformation? To what extent did bonds of blood and kinship catalyse and complicate its path? And how did remembrance of these events evolve with the passage of the time and the succession of the generations? This seminar will investigate the connections between the histories of the family, the perception of the past, and England’s plural and fractious Reformations. It invites participants from a range of disciplinary backgrounds to explore how the religious revolutions and movements of the period shaped, and were shaped by, the horizontal relationships that early modern people formed with their sibilings, relatives and peers, as well as the vertical ones that tied them to their dead ancestors and future heirs. It will also consider the role of the Reformation in reconfiguring conceptions of memory, history and time itself. Schedule: The seminar will convene on Fridays 1-4.30pm, for 10 weeks from 5 February to 29 April 2016, excluding 18 March, 1 April and 15 April. In keeping with Folger tradition, there will be a tea break from 3.00 to 3.30pm.
