 ASMP: Get a Blog: Wayne Wallace
WW: I’ve watched the blog industry since early 2000 and finally decided to start one when Google bought Blogger.com, because I figured that having a blog would probably be good for my search engine stats.
WW: No. I think too many people try to paint a picture of what they think other people want to see in the way of a Web site or types of images to show.
WW: Some people don’t read or visit blogs and they are not good for building a traditional Web site that is easy to navigate and find all your information.

Her position on the Korean War is similar, but let’s continue with WW I and WW II.

Let's see, if I'm not mistaken about 2500 or some hundreds more ships were sunk in WW II by the German U-boats (I'm not a WW II U-boat specialist, I'm only working on the type XXI of that period).
Fact is that the WW I sub war was much more spectacular than the one in WW II.
However because of the fact that these wars came fastly after one another, the one in WW I was as good as forgotten.

 Gunny G's WW I Marines Battle Cry E-E-E-YAH-YIP!
That Australian units in WW I were said to have marched into battle singing, "The Wizard of Oz" and/or "South of the Border." But, others have commented that there is little truth in such reports.
That it is thought by some that there might be some connection between the famous "Rebel Yell" of Civil War days, and the E-E-E-Yah-Yip of WW I Marines.
Some of the above sources do show that examination of hundreds of WW I battle accounts by professional historians, indicate that E-E-E-YAH-YIP was used with some frequency by Marines, and had been taught during Marine Corps training.

 WW I or II/Mafia Novels--Recommendations Please - Reader's Paradise Forum - GardenWeb
The Forger ~ Paul Watkins On the eve of WW 2, a talented young painter is convinced to duplicate the master paintings housed in the museums of Paris before the German army invades the city.
The best WW II novels I know are by Alan Furst, all the protagonists are unimportant people caught up in the war--usually getting involved with spying in some way or other.
The recreation of the period is phenomenal, and the characters compelling, though they might be a trifle too sophisticated for teens.

 United States (WW I)
I example of the Ross bayonet, with the extended muzzle ring and the pinned pommel.
Both bayonet and scabbard have matching dates (1909) and show that they were accepted for Canadian military service before being transferred to the U.S. Many Ross bayonets had their blade profile drastically altered during WW I. However, this example is exactly as it left the Ross Rifle Co., Quebec, Canada factory in 1909.
These were made by Collins and Company, Hartford, CT. Date of manufacture is still in debate, however, it appears most likely to be during the years immediately preceding WW I. Heavy, roughly machined curved blade.

Up to WW-I formal encryption was based on changing messages written in Latin or prevailing alphabet by creating a message of equal size (in most cases), with the same alphabet.
The changes were of two types: transposition and substitution: changing the order of the letters, or replacing each letter with another.
When World War Two came around, all the belligerent countries took encryption to new heights, using the best technology of the day to devise more and more complex ciphers, and to break the same.

It's easy to read, covers every aspect of the war concisely, defines a lot of technical terms, throws in some apt quotes, gives you a "Who's Who of WW I," and makes sense of what was a brutal, boring, but earth-shattering event.
Most of what happened of interest in the war was during the first month in which the Germans made a huge sweep through Belgium and France -- the Schlieffen Plan -- and nearly won all the marbles in a single turn.
A couple of chapters at the end discuss the aftermath of WW I, the "lost generation," the League of Nations, and all the other factors that made WW I the opening act for WW II.
