The American Legion Magazine [Volume 43, No. 6 (December 1947)] Men like practical gifts. A Remington electric shaver is just about the most useful year-round gift you could select. Every man has to shave, and a Remington makes his shaving faster, easier, more comfortable, more convenient. Remember—nothing can outshave a Remington! The chief reasons for the Remington's outstanding performance are the speed of its powerful, durable AC-DC motor and the exclusive Blue Streak twin shaving head, which handles long and short hairs with jequal ease. Choose one of these three Remington models in a hand- some presentation case and you are sure to please him: The Remington Five (illustrated), The Remington Foursome, The Remington Triple—or the newest, latest Remington, the MORE REMINGTONS HAVE BEEN SOLD SINCE 1940 6V-110V Auto-Home shaver, which he can use both in his car ALL and at home. Remington prices start at $17.50. Remington THAN OTHER MAKES COMBINED Rand Inc., Electric Shaver Division, Bridgeport, Connecticut 5 HAVE DRY NO LATHER NO BLADES fit Time for Christmas By Major Henry Lee Somerville It was December, 1943, less than a week to Christinas. We were stationed in Florida then, at Morrison Field, billeting and feeding the combat crews on their way to England. Lucky? Yes, and we knew it too. But even with Stateside duty, we didn't sing too many Christmas carols. Talking about home was like twisting a bayonet that was stuck through one's chest, but we always did it. You know how it was. Just before dark a transient came through bunting the first sergeant. M/Sgt. Charles (our First) was out, so I asked if I could help. "I heard the first sergeant is from California," said the stranger, so eagerly that the words tumbled over each other. "Is it true?" I nodded. "Los Angeles?" "That's right. You can catch him at the mess hall right now." The transient—he was a tech ser- geant—headed for the mess hall. I should have gone to eat too. but some- how I wasn't hungry for that kind of food so close to Christmas. I could hear M/Sgt. Charles and this tech sergeant talking long before they reached the office. It seems they hadn't known each other in Los An- geles, but they had lived on the same street and had mutual friends. They talked fast until it was almost time for the B-24's to leave. We lis- tened to them for awhile, then we all started talking about Christmases at home. Every so often though, we'd hear the tech sergeant say wistfully, "God. I'd give anything to be in L. A. on Christmas Eve." At about 2200. we stood on the ramp and took a traditional poke at Cali- fornia weather, comparing it favor- ably with the London fog he was scheduled to know for the duration. He laughed as he picked up his bags. "You Texans wouldn't know good weather if you were to see it," he called back to me. Then to all of us, or maybe to no one in particular: "God, I'd give anything to be in L. A. on Christmas Eve." We watched as his plane took off in its turn, cleared the field, and crashed. M/Sgt. Charles was detailed to take the body home. They pulled into Los Angeles on Christmas Eve.

FROM MEMORY TO HONOR: STORIES OF SOUTH CAROLINA'S WORLD WAR MONUMENTS A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts History by Amy Michelle Matthews August 2008 Accepted by: Dr. Steven G. Marks, Committee Chair Dr. Paul C. Anderson Dr. Richard Saunders, Jr. ABSTRACT Out of the South‟s defeat in the Civil War emerged proponents of the Lost Cause and a desire to remember and perpetuate the South‟s honor in the war. This desire to commemorate fallen loved ones and to preserve their memory continued into the twentieth century, most notably the era following the First and Second World Wars. Based on the South‟s strong sense of military tradition and remembrance established after the Civil War, a scholarly debate has emerged in recent decades over the meaning of military commemorations and monuments. One side of the argument views World War I commemorations as a continuation of traditional ways of understanding war and remembering the fallen.

  • Modernism and World War I
    Fatal Symbiosis: Modernism and World War I In 1909, Ezra Pound, standing on a chair in a London cafe and assuming the persona of the Troubador poet and wanior Betrans de Born, declaimed the following lines from his new poem, "Sestina: Altaforte": Damn it all! all this our South stinks peace. There's no sound like to swords swords opposing, No cry like the battle's rejoicing When our elbows and swords drip the crimson. Hell grant soon we hear again the swords clash! Hell blot black for alway the thought "Peace"! That same year, in Paris, Filippo Marinetti published the "Foundation Manifesto" of Futurism on the front page of Le Figaro, part of which declares: "We will glorify war-the world's only hygiene-militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers. Except in struggle, there is no more beauty. No work without an aggressive character can be a masterpiece. Poetry must be conceived as a violent attack on unlmown forces . l' (Selected Writings 4142). In the following two years, 1910-11, the Berlin avant-garde journals Die Aktion and Der Sturnz introduced new and highly disturbing images of cataclysmic war and apocalypse in the poems of Jakob Von Hoddis and Gottfried Benn, Georg Heym and Georg Trakl. Heym's "The War" (1911) images the disaster as an awakening monster: He that slept long has arisen, Arisen from deep vaults below. He stands in the dusk, huge and unknown, And crushes the moon to pulp in his black hand. By 1912-13,motifs of cannons and marching soldiers, exploding shells and burning cities proliferated in modernist painting, 2 Wal; Literature, and the Arts regardless of whether the canvas was painted in London or Berlin, Paris or Milan.
