  • United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922
    Cover: During World War I, convoys carried almost two million men to Europe. In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326). Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

  • Lieutenant Gordon Stuart Frazier
    Lieutenant Gordon Stuart Frazier Gordon was born on 23rd August 1892.i He was the younger of two sons born to George Rowland and Louisa Frazier. Around the time of Gordon’s birth the family were living at 436 Coventry Road, Bordesley. His father, born in Oystermouth, Glamorgan, earned a living as a ‘provision merchant’.ii By 1901 the family had moved to 81 Golden Hillock Road, Aston (now Sparkhill) where George ran a grocer’s shop. In 1904, Gordon joined his elder brother, Rowland, at King Edward’s School (KES), New Street where he remained until 1908.iii On leaving school he was articled to Mr C Silk, quantity surveyor, of Newhall Street Birmingham. Gordon had many outside interests, in particular, cricket. As a member of Moseley Ashfield Cricket Club and committee member he became vice-captain of the second team and was considered to be an excellent bowler. Gordon was also well known in local amateur theatricals and was a player in the Moseley Junior Shakespeare Society, then the Pitsani Players.iv Figure 1: Birmingham Daily Post report on the Pitsani Payers and ‘She Stoops to Conquer’. A month after the outbreak of war in August 1914, Gordon applied to join the 14th Service Battalion (1st Birmingham Pals), Royal Warwickshire Regiment for three years with the Colours when it was formed in September by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham and a local committee. Gordon’s attestation on 5th September records him as physically fit but not for regular service and as a consequence he was posted to the 17th (Local Reserve) Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment based at Chisledon, Wiltshire as Private G S Frazier, Number 225.v On 1st July 1915 Gordon was promoted to Lance-Corporal.

    PARANORMAL PHENOMENA MARTA MORENO GARCÍA MARÍA RODRÍGUEZ MARTÍN PAQUI TORO MARTÍN LOLI TRUJILLO HERNÁNDEZ HOLLYWOOD ROOSEVELT HOTEL • Place – California (Walk of Fame in Hollywood). • It has a glamorous story: Marilyn Monroe was the most famous resident of the hotel. The Steiger brothers, authors and researchers of paranormal activity, were filming several productions at the hotel. Sherry (one of them) was explaining the story of the most famous place mirror, and while they were standing there, a gentleman pulled back as if he had pushed and said, ‘Who do you think you are?`. Brad asked the man what happened; and he said that the blonde lady came running as if it were the owner of Hollywood and made him aside. PHOTOS BACHERLOR´S GROVE CEMETERY • It is rumoured that this is one of the favourite places for gangsters to dump the dead bodies. Bacherlor´s Grove is an old and decaying cemetery that has been the scene of countless stories of ghosts, spirits and devil worship. Several tombstones in the cemetery seem to move at will, and many claim that the spirits of the dead often materalize and walk at night. • A white lady is a ghost that has been seen in this cemetery. Her legends are found around the world too. pHOTOS Robert the doll The island art and historical museum is not haunted but contains shocking artifacts from the history of Key West in the form of a large doll that many claim is possessed. It was given to the painter Gene Otto in 1900, and he soon took a deadly fear of it, the young man said that the doll often threatened and woke him up at night, tossing the furniture.
