 | | On Friday we observe Veterans Day, the anniversary of the armistice signed to end World War I. At the Worcester County Veterans Memorial in Ocean Pines, a solemn event will mark the day, with volunteers reading the names of every soldier killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan throughout the day. |
| | While the military destruction took place largely in Europe, where 9 million soldiers were killed, the conflict spread to Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and to most of the oceans of the world. |
| | The greatest numbers of casualties, however, were not inflicted by shells, bullets and chemical weapons, but by the diseases and hunger that ensued, and by the 1918 flu pandemic that sprang directly from the war. |
