  • The Portuguese Expeditionary Corps in World War I: from Inception To
    THE PORTUGUESE EXPEDITIONARY CORPS IN WORLD WAR I: FROM INCEPTION TO COMBAT DESTRUCTION, 1914-1918 Jesse Pyles, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2012 APPROVED: Geoffrey Wawro, Major Professor Robert Citino, Committee Member Walter Roberts, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Pyles, Jesse, The Portuguese Expeditionary Corps in World War I: From Inception to Destruction, 1914-1918. Master of Arts (History), May 2012, 130 pp., references, 86. The Portuguese Expeditionary Force fought in the trenches of northern France from April 1917 to April 1918. On 9 April 1918 the sledgehammer blow of Operation Georgette fell upon the exhausted Portuguese troops. British accounts of the Portuguese Corps’ participation in combat on the Western Front are terse. Many are dismissive. In fact, Portuguese units experienced heavy combat and successfully held their ground against all attacks. Regarding Georgette, the standard British narrative holds that most of the Portuguese soldiers threw their weapons aside and ran. The account is incontrovertibly false. Most of the Portuguese combat troops held their ground against the German assault. This thesis details the history of the Portuguese Expeditionary Force. Copyright 2012 by Jesse Pyles ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The love of my life, my wife Izabella, encouraged me to pursue graduate education in history. This thesis would not have been possible without her support. Professor Geoffrey Wawro directed my thesis. He provided helpful feedback regarding content and structure.

  • Elery M. Zehner by Robert Stegmaier, 100-G-4 and Franklin Gurley, 399-A
    The 100’s Most Decorated: Elery M. Zehner by Robert Stegmaier, 100-G-4 and Franklin Gurley, 399-A Lt. Col. Elery M. Zehner seemed to appear out of nowhere that morning of May 12, 1944 to assume command of the 1st Battalion. The men had assumed that Major Bernard V. Lentz had a lock on the job, particularly in view of the fact that the 399th CO, Colonel Andrew Tychsen, had served for several years under Lentz’s father and had been requested by the father to take young “Barney’’ Lentz under his wing. Until that May morning, morale in the 1st Battalion was not particularly high. This had nothing to do with Major Lentz but was simply due to discouragement on the men’s part about the prospects of ever getting overseas. However, when the men learned that Col. Zehner was a West Pointer, they interpreted this as a sign that they might be overseas-bound after all. Zehner’s all-business, no-nonsense training methods reinforced this belief that the 100th was combat material waiting for a chance to show what it could do. The only note of whimsy in Zehner’s otherwise stem comportment was the red silk scarf which he wore tucked in behind his silver oak leaves. Someone said that Zehner had dubbed the battalion “the Red Raiders”, of which his scarf was the symbol. Before combat ended, dozens if not hundreds of men in the battalion would sport this same red scarf. Less than six months later, on November 4, 1944, Zehner had his first real chance to prove or disprove the prediction of the West Point 1937 Year Book that “this gentleman will bear watching.” Zehner’s battalion received the mission of capturing the village of St.

Some of the more spectacular actions of now famous armored units are familiar to all students of military history. Contrary to popular be­ lief, however, not all armored actions consisted of deep slashing drives many miles into enemy territory. Some armored units were forced to engage in the more unspectacular slugging actions against superior enemy forces. One such action, the attack of Combat Comnand B, 12th Armored Division, against HERRLISHEIM, FRANCE, is reviewed in this paper.

  • The Following Transcript of Red Hamill's Interview on Memories And
    The following transcript of Red Hamill’s interview on Memories and Music (broadcast September 5, 1982) was created by Videoplus Transcription Services in 2013. Page 1 00:00:00 Track starts. SCOTT TURNBULL: Good afternoon and welcome to Memories and Music on CIGM FM 92.7 Sudbury. I’m your musical host, Scott Turnbull and joining us now with an introduction to today’s guest, here’s Gary Peck. GARY PECK: Today our guest will be Red Hamill. Red Hamill played professional hockey from approximately the 1937/38 season until the 1950/51 season playing for initially the Boston Bruins, latterly the Chicago Blackhawks. And also, Red Hamill has been involved in local sports. And today our guest is Robert Hamill, better known as Red Hamill. And welcome to the program, Mr. Hamill. RED HAMILL: Thank you. GARY PECK: Red, you were involved in professional hockey for a number of years and that’s really what we’re going to focus on today in the program. But before we actually concentrate on that aspect of your life, would you share with us some biographical information beginning where you were born, when, what general area, and follow through from there? RED HAMILL: Well, Gary, I was born in Toronto, 1917 and I spent my first 15 years there in Toronto with the family and then I moved north to get a job. That was during the depression years, 34/35 and I went up to South Porcupine. I got the job up there in the mine because I had a little talent as a hockey player.
