(2 ) The President of the United o America, authorized by Act of Congress, March 3, 1863, has awarded in the name of e Cong the ~ edal of Honor to Lt. Colonel Robert G. Cole UNITED STATES ARMY For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty: Lt. Col. Cole was personally leading his battalion in forcing the last 4 bridges on the road to Carentan when his entire unit was suddenly pinned to the ground by intense and withering enemy rifle, machinegun, mortar, and artillery fire placed upon them from wellprepared and heavily fortified positions within 150 yards ofthe foremost elements. After the devastating and unceasing enemy fire had for over 1 hour prevented any move and inflicted numerous casualties, Lt. Col. Cole, observing this almost hopeless situation, courageously issued orders to assault the enemy positions with fixed bayonets. With utter disregard for his own safety and completely ignoring the enemy fire, he rose to his feet in front of his battalion and with drawn pistol shouted to his men to follow him in the assault. Catching up a fallen man's rifle and bayonet, he charged on and led the remnants of his battalion across the bulletswept open ground and into the enemy position. His heroic and valiant action in so inspiring his men resulted in the complete establishment of our bridgehead across the Douve River. The cool fearlessness, personal bravery, and outstanding leadership displayed by Lt. Col. Cole reflect great credit upon himself and are worthy of the highest praise in the military service. Rank and organization: Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Army, 101st Airborne Division. Place and date: Near Carentan, France, 11 June 1944. Entered service at: San Antonio, Tex. Birth: Fort Sam Houston, T~~44. Taken from the Fort Campbell Website EDITOR'S NOTE: My son picked this Citation for the Award of the Congressional Medal of Honor to Lt. Col. Robert G. Cole from the internet, and I thought it fitting to reproduce it in our Company I poopsheet, - Company I played a huge role in this action. (3 ) BOB HARTZELL - 313 Wentz St. - Tiffin, Ohio 44883 Phone (419) 447-0448 I received a phone call from a 36 year old collector of WWII Airborne articles who wanted know if I knew "Charles Young" a WWII Paratrooper. He had bought a WWII Paratrooper "Ike Jacket" from another collector complete with Ribbons, Combat Infantry Badge, Paratrooper Jump wings, Hash Marks, P.F.C. Stripe, 101st shoulder Patch, and the name "Charles Young" in a pocket. When I told him that Charles Young was in Company I 502 and that I knew him well, he insisted on coming to Tiffin and visiting with me, - he lives about 60 miles away. When here he wanted, - and I gave him 2 pictures of Charles taken at various Reunions, so he could put a face to the "Ike Jacket" which he now has. EDITOR'S NOTE: Charles Young died in 1990 and his wife died a few years later. It is evident that among collectors of WWII articles, Paratrooper's articles are in great demand. In our May Poopsheet I mentioned that I am inviting family members of our deceased Company I men whose wives are also deceased, to be included on our mailing list. I am enclosing in this Poopsheet a partial list of current names and addresses of those relatives of our deceased Company I men. I am still seeking to find relatives of many others of our deceased Company I men. If any of you can help with this endeavor,please do. I have had requests from some of you for the "Cassette Tape of the 'D-Day Jump June 6, 1944' by NBC reporter Wright Bryant as seen by him from Col. Robert G. Cole's plane", - and requests also for the " Copy of an 8~X11 Picture of a Fully Equipped Paratrooper Ready to make a Combat Jump." I have obtained more of both items for those of you who will ask for them, - at no charge. The doctor reports that my wife Marie's physical health is generally good, but her Alzheimers Disease continues to go downhill, - and she is much confused in her speech and in her memory, and she has crying times. I tried to phone Mrs. Louis (Dorothy) Mete to offer my condolence on the death of Lou, but was unable to get through to her. JAMES and MABEL HOWELL - P.O. Box 528 - Aberdeen, Mississippi 39730 Phone (601) 369-4395 . We are leaving for a few days trip to O'Fallon, Missouri, (near St. Louis). I called Chester Elliott the other night and advised him that we were going to drop by for a short visit. He said to come on. A LATER LETTER FROM JIM and MABEL: We really enjoyed the visit with Elliott. We have already received a l~tter from him telling us how much they appreciated us visiting him and his family. I sent some pictures to Kelly and told him that he better brush up,on his talking because Chester can run him a close second. CAROLYN YOUNG (daughter of Charles W. Young) - 85 Grozier Rd. - Cambridge, Mass. 02138 Thank you for keeping the Poopsheet going all these years, and for including me on your mailing list on behalf of my dad. I know my father appreciated it very much during his lifetime. Is there a way for me to contact people who knew my father during the war? He didn't talk about it much, but I'd like to hear any stories anyone is willing to share. Enclosed is a donation to help with Poopsheet expens~s. EDITOR'S NOTE: In the late 1960s I flew into the Boston airport to attend a 1'101st New England Chapter" gathering. Arriving a day early, I previously arranged to meet Charles W.

  • World War I Posters and the Female Form
    WORLD WAR I POSTERS AND THE FEMALE FORM: ASSERTING OWNERSHIP OF THE AMERICAN WOMAN LAURA M. ROTHER Bachelor of Arts in English John Carroll University January, 2003 submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree MASTERS OF ARTS IN HISTORY at the CLEVELAND STATE UNIVERSITY May, 2008 This thesis has been approved for the Department of ART HISTORY and the College of Graduate Studies by ___________________________________________ Thesis Chairperson, Dr. Samantha Baskind _________________________ Department & Date ____________________________________________ Dr. Marian Bleeke ________________________ Department & Date _____________________________________________ Dr. Elizabeth Lehfeldt ___________________________ Department & Date WORLD WAR I POSTERS AND THE FEMALE FORM: ASSERTING OWNERSHIP OF THE AMERICAN WOMAN LAURA M. ROTHER ABSTRACT Like Britain and continental Europe, the United States would utilize the poster to garner both funding and public support during World War I. While war has historically been considered a masculine endeavor, a relatively large number of these posters depict the female form. Although the use of women in American World War I visual propaganda may not initially seem problematic, upon further inspection it becomes clear that her presence often served to promote racial and national pretentiousness. Based on the works of popular pre-war illustrators like Howard Chandler Christy and Charles Dana Gibson, the American woman was the most attractive woman in the in the world. Her outstanding wit, beauty and intelligence made her the only suitable mate for the supposed racially superior American man. With the onset of war, however, the once entertaining romantic scenarios in popular monthlies and weeklies now represented what America stood to lose, and the “American Girl” would make the transition from magazine illustrations to war poster with minimal alterations.

Its lighted torch symbolizes the illumination of intellect and leadership supplied by the School. The torch is surmounted by a gold open laurel wreath, below a gold sword and pen, with points downward, the tip ends of the wreath passing under the sword blade and pen quill FOREWORD The Judge Advocate General's School soon begins its twenty­ second year on the Grounds of the University of Virginia. In these years "the Home of the Military Lawyer" has consistently sought to serve the Army Lawyer in the field-by preparing him in our resident courses, keeping him supplied with the most recent legal information in a clear and concise form, and providing good quality continuing legal education programs both in the resident short courses and in our nonresident extension courses. But our active lawyer is only one part of our Corps and the School has likewise become the home for the lawyers in the Army Reserve and the Army and Air National Guard-the other two vital parts of our Army.

Tipperary Commandant, 1st Battalion, 2nd (Mid) Tipperary Brigade. In the 1912 I was sworn into the Irish Republican year Brotherhood by a man named Harding at his home in christchurck Place, Dublin. I was then 19 years of age and at the time I was temporarily residing in the city. A year or so later I returned to my home at Moycarkey and took up a position in Thurles. During year 1914 a company of Irish Volunteers, whic the I joined, was formed in the Moycarkey-Two Mile Borris area and I remained a member until the split in the Volunteer movement took place later on in that year. As the majority of the members then favoured the policy of the late John E. Redmond, the company affiliated to the National Volunteers and this led to my severing my connection with it. Irish Volunteer activities of anything of a worth-while nature did not commence in Thurles and the surrounding parishes until the reorganisation of the Volunteer in 1917. Prior to 1916, Mr. James movement Kennedy of St., Thurles, then the Assistant Parnell Town Clerk, sworn a number of men in the various had parishes into the I.R.B., but when the Rising took place, we had no properly organised Irish Volunteer unit in the district.

  • Matthew Flinders's Australian Toponymy and Its British Connections
    The Journal of the Hakluyt Society November 2013 Matthew Flinders’s Australian Toponymy and its British Connections Dany Bréelle* Introduction On the 26 June 1814, about three weeks before Matthew Flinders’s death, a copy of his Atlas of Terra Australis , with its sixteen survey sheets of the Australian coastline, 1 together with the two volumes of the Voyage to Terra Australis , were placed on the table of Sir Joseph Banks who had sponsored the voyage of HMS Investigator .2 Thus Flinders completed the huge mission that the Admiralty had entrusted to him thirteen years earlier, and that the president of the Royal Society had supported, namely the charting of the country now known as Australia and everything from the preparations for the voyage to the publication of its atlas. Flinders’s names are now a major feature of the Australian identity, and comprise, together with the landing of James Cook and the arrival of the First Fleet, a significant part of the nation’s historical narrative. This is especially true of South Australia, where Flinders’s expedition and the French expedition of Nicolas Baudin were the first two European voyages to discover and chart the coasts. 3 This official narrative has been relayed through historical fiction, creative writing, and narrative history, using Flinders’s voyage as the basic material which on the one hand has prevented the Investigator voyage from being forgotten, and on the other has given Flinders national status and made his nomenclature widely known in Australia. The purpose of this article is to analyse Flinders’s nomenclature as it appears in his atlas, and is incorporated into his Voyage to Terra Australis , through its relationships and connections to the actors, structures and notions which characterized Flinders’s time and are embodied in Flinders’s nomenclature.
