Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Britain's empire went to war in August 1914, rugby players were the first to volunteer: they led from the front and paid a disproportionate price. When the Armistice came after four long years, their war game was over; even as the last echo of the guns of November faded, it was time to play rugby again. As Allied troops of all nations waited to return home, sport occupied their minds and bodies. In 1919, a grateful Mother Country hosted a rugby tournament for the King's Cup, to be presented by King George V at Twickenham Stadium. It was a moment of triumph, a celebration of military victory, of Allied unity and of rugby values, moral and physical. Never before had teams from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Britain and France been assembled in one place. Rugby held the first ever 'World Cup' – football would not play its own version until 1930. In 2015 the modern Rugby World Cup returns to England and Twickenham as the world remembers the Centenary of the Great War. With a foreword by Jason Leonard, this is the story of rugby's journey through the First World War to its first World Cup, and how those values endure today.
Download or read book The 1920 Olympic Games written by Bill Mallon and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until this volume was compiled, the results of the 1920 Olympics held in Antwerp, Belgium, have been far from complete. The Antwerp organizing committee typed up a report of the results almost as an afterthought because it was so financially strapped after the games. For some events only the medalists are listed, with little, if any, additional information. Very few copies were ever produced, and those few copies were in French. The seventh in a series on the early Olympics, this work fills a gap in the recording of early Olympics history by providing complete results for all competitors and all events (except for shooting, which has only partial information available). In virtually all cases, a 1920 source has been used in preference to a more modern source of information, and all details have been fully researched in contemporary newspapers, journals, and magazines and checked for accuracy by experts on various sports from all over the world.

Download or read book The Great War in the Argonne Forest written by Richard Merry and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vividly written account of the epic four-year campaign is “particularly worth reading [for] aspects of the Great War rarely discussed in other texts” —Roads to the Great War The annals of the First World War record the Argonne Forest as the epicenter of the famous Meuse-Argonne offensive of 1918, the largest American operation launched against the Germans during the conflict. During 1914 and 1915 though, amid the dense forest, French and Italian soldiers withstood the German assaults. All sides suffered horrendous casualties, as each sought to break through the lines. The epic four-year campaign is the subject of Richard Merry’s vividly written account. His great-uncle arrived there in September 1914 and started corresponding with his family. Richard traces the stories of some of the men—and women—who became embroiled in the epic forest struggle that culminated in the cold, gas-filled autumnal mist of 1918 when the New Yorkers of the 77th “Liberty” Division fought there. One of their number, Charles Whittlesey, and his “Lost Battalion” held out against insurmountable odds. Sergeant Alvin York, the Tennessee backwoodsman and pacifist, overcame his religious convictions and wrote himself into American military history. The story does not end there; the author describes the aftermath of war in the area—the lethal outbreak of Spanish flu, the reburial of the dead, the rebuilding of the villages, and the replanting of the forest before the Germans invaded again in 1940.
Download or read book Civilians in a World at War 1914 1918 written by Tammy M. Proctor and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2010-08-30 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores the different ways civilians work and function in a war situation, and broadens our understanding of the civilian to encompass munitions workers, nurses, laundresses, refugees, aid workers, and children who lived and worked in occupied zones, on home and battle fronts, and in the spaces in between. Global in scope, spanning the Eastern, Western, Italian, East African, and Mediterranean fronts, the author examines in detail the role of experts in the war, the use of forced labor, and the experiences of children in the combatant countries. As in many wars, civilians on both sides of WWI were affected, and vast displacements of the populations shaped the contemporary world in countless ways, redrawing boundaries and creating or reviving lines of ethnic conflict.
