  • A Day in the Salient with Bernard Comyn by Ian Chambers, August 2007
    A Day in the Salient with Bernard Comyn by Ian Chambers, August 2007 Bernard is a friend of Harry Canvin, and knowing that I was spending a few days in the Salient, Harry arranged for Gary and me to spend a day with him. Bernard, (pictured here with my son Gary) is, I would guess, in his early seventies and was born in Zillebeke, where he still lives. He is a walking encyclopaedia on the war in the Salient and once you have spent a little time with him it soon becomes clear that he gets great enjoyment from passing that knowledge on. Our first stop was Hill 60, which is on the outskirts of Zillebeke. This mound, 60 metres high, was of great importance bearing in mind the general low lying nature of most of the area. It was held by the Germans until 7 June 1917 when a series of mines was detonated over the Messines Ridge area to signal the start of what became known as the Battle of Messines. The tunnel to Hill 60 was 1,380 feet long and was officially known as The Berlin Sap, just before it reached Hill 60 the tunnel branched off to run under another German position known as The Caterpillar which was a second "hill" formed from the spoil from the railway cutting. In total 123,500 pounds of ammonal and guncotton was placed under the two hills and when both mines exploded as planned, this allowed British troops to storm and capture them and they remained in British hands until the German advance of 1918.

As we move into the final year of the centenary of the end of WW1 our head guide Paul Reed has created a selection of special anniversary event tours plus new tours covering some of the major final campaign battles.

A century after WW1 and some 75 years since WW2, the debt we owe to those generations remains strong and the legacy of Remembrance they have left us prompts many who travel on our Battlefield Tours to ask more: who is the solider in that faded photo at home?

    Fascism 9 (2020) 9-33 Fighting Fascism with ‘Verbal Bullets’: Kaji Wataru and the Antifascist Struggle in Wartime East Asia Edwin Michielsen Department of East Asian Studies, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada [email protected] Abstract This article examines the cultural production of Kaji Wataru, founder of the Zaika Nihonjinmin hansen dōmei [Japanese People’s Antiwar League in China] to illuminate what strategies Kaji used to train prisoners-of-war and to convert Japanese soldiers as a way to counter fascism during the second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945). Scholars have tended to focus on unravelling the history surrounding Kaji Wataru and the Antiwar League. In doing so, they have often overlooked the constructive role his cultural works played in that history and in his antiwar thought. The author aims to show how Kaji’s reportage works, and plays, were the very media he used to develop and execute his antifascist visions and activities. The focus is on three reportage works and one play that best reflect Kaji’s antifascist strategies. Analyzing the texts, the author highlights descriptions dealing with the organization and activities of the Antiwar League as well as the cooperation with the Chinese resistance as part of the popular front in East Asia. Keywords Japan – China – antifascism – Kaji Wataru (1903–1982) – Sino-Japanese War – Zaika Nihonjinmin hansen dōmei - Japanese People’s Antiwar League in China – War of Resistance literature Concerning the literary movement, we can speak of the possibility of an antifascist popular front for the first time when we foresee the attacks of the enemy, the writers’ alliance supports the organization and cooperates with the workers and farmers’ arts alliance, and connects with other pop- ular groups such as political parties and unions as a political front to stop the wave of fascism.

This course explores these vivid human experiences through great, and lesser, works of film and literature. Topics range widely, from medieval Japan to Africa, the Americas and Europe, the two 20th century world wars and various Asmall wars@ of the 19th through 21st centuries. We explore "the angle of vision" problem: who should we trust more, eye-witness accounts of war, great poets and novelists, modern film-makers, or military and other historians? Who gets us closest to the "truth" about war as a fundamental element of the human experience and condition? Can we draw general conclusions about the experience of war? Or do we falsely impose our own ideas on history? Note: The course is thematic rather than narrative. Some of you will likely find it necessary to do additional reading on the general history of war (Allure of Battle is assigned to this end), and reading that situates specific wars in overarching patterns of military history. I will provide guidance in class and to those who ask for it outside class. Consult the course site on Blackboard, where there are many additional features, from photos and music files to videos, to still and animated maps.

    The World Wars - Prelims Packet Written and edited by Cole Snedeker, High Technology High School, NJ NOTE TO MODERATOR: prompt on all partial answers unless otherwise specified [T1] Reconnaissance pilot Gunther Plüschow was regarded as “the hero of [this battle]” after he downed an enemy plane with his pistol. The defenders in this battle, which occupied Prinz Heinrich Hill and Fort Bismarck, were sent to the Bando POW camp after being captured. After landing at Lau Shan Bay, Kamio Mitsuomi’s forces dug parallel trenches, employing a similar strategy as they had nine years before during the Battle of Port Arthur. Prior to this battle, Maximilian von Spee evacuated much of the East Asia Squadron from port. For ten points, name this 1914 battle in which Japanese and British forces captured a German colony in China. ANSWER: Siege of Qingdao (accept Battle of Qingdao) ​ ​ ​ ​ [T2] The ownership of a stash of gold which had allegedly been hidden by this man became the subject of a lawsuit filed by Rogelio Roxas against Ferdinand Marcos. The precedent of command responsibility was set with this man when he was executed for war crimes committed by his troops despite the lack of evidence that he was aware they were occurring. This general’s troops rode on bicycles during one campaign, the success of which led to the largest surrender in British military history. For ten points, name this Japanese general who earned the nickname “Tiger of Malaya” for capturing Singapore in seventy days. ANSWER: Tomoyuki Yamashita (accept Tomobumi Yamashita; accept Tiger of Malaya before mentioned) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ [T3] This man was forced to resign from one post following disputes with Count Aehrenthal over launching pre- emptive wars, an action he proposed no less than thirty times during a one year period.

  • Medicine Through Time: the British Sector of the Western Front: 1914‐1918
    Medicine Through Time: The British Sector of the Western Front: 1914‐1918 Learning Outcomes 1. How developments in medicine in the early 20th century contributed to treatment of soldiers 2. Understanding the types of injuries that were experienced by soldiers in the British sector 3. Understanding of the different developments in surgery and medicine used to treat soldiers 1 The First World War: Western Front Britain declared war on Germany on August 4th 1914 when Germany invaded France through Belgium. The British government sent the B.E.F (British Expeditionary Force) to northern France to try and stop the German advance. By the end of 1914, much of Belgium and northern France had been occupied by the Germans. After the initial fighting, both the British and Germans pulled back their forces and this is when ‘Trench Warfare’ began as both the British and Germans pulled back their forces. It became a defensive war using trenches with some offensive attempts to capture the enemy trenches and land. Between 1914 and 1918, most of the fighting done on the Western Front (France/Belgium) was trench warfare. The British sector (in red) includes the strategic areas of Ypres, Arras, Albert and the River Somme and many of the largest battles in the war were fought in this sector. The medical impact of WW1 • There were 2.7 million casualties in the British sector of the Western Front during the war. • 1⁄4 (700,000) of these casualties were not seen by medical services because they were killed/prisoners. • The remaining 2 million were treated by medical services in France or back in England.
