Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the machines and technology have changed drastically over the past century, the themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and heroism have been felt by countless generations of American soldiers. While todays armed forces depend on the accuracy of satellites and smartbombs, the American soldier of the early twentieth century fought under much different circumstancesan era dominated by machine guns, massive artillery, gas masks, biplanes, and trench warfare. Our nations families, at that time, were full of patriotic pride and were more than willing to give their sons in the fight for democracy. Lancaster County, a rural community in the Palmetto States Upcountry, was proud to count many of its men as the first volunteers in our countrys call to arms. In Lancaster County and the Great War, you will listen to the compelling stories of many of the countys veterans of World War I, from their trials of admission and boot camp to the nightmarish scenes in the barbed-wirelined, bullet-ridden trenches to the victory celebrations they experienced in foreign landscapes and back at home. Complemented with period photographs, local county newspaper headlines, and wartime posters, these personal histories truly share a unique experience in South Carolinas and our countrys past. As you read through these pages, you will feel as if you have been handed a government-issue rifle, journeyed across the East Coast to various training camps, felt the incredible fear and anxiety of battle, and paraded down Lancasters streets to the ovation of joyous crowds.
Download or read book Lancaster in the Great War written by John Fidler and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Lancaster was the ancient County town, it had a population of only 40,000 in 1914. Of these, it is thought that some 5,000 men saw war service between 1914-18, and over 1,000 did not return. In consequence, the recruiting drives, the tribunals to consider exemption from 1916, and the ever-growing casualty lists provide the main theme for this book.Some 3,000 men had volunteered by December 1914, to join those already serving. While the depot of the Kings Own Royal Lancaster Regiment was in the town, about eighty regiments had Lancaster men in their ranks, and both the casualty lists and the awards for gallantry reflect this.The town was out of range for shelling from the sea, or aerial bombardment, but did experience an explosion at its munitions factory in 1917. Apart from this, the mayor and council endeavoured to continue with their primary duties as far as possible in running the town.

As Controvich’s bibliographic accounting makes clear, there were many facets of World War I that remain virtually unknown to this day. Throughout, Controvich’s bibliography tracks the primary sources that tell each of these stories—and many others besides—during this tense period in American history. Each entry lists the author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, and page count as well as descriptive information concerning illustrations, plates, ports, maps, diagrams, and plans. The armed forces section carries additional information on rosters, awards, citations, and killed and wounded in action lists.
