Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Guard in the Great War: 1914 1918 Great War comes to be fully written, said the General, The National Guard will have a page in that history. Every member of the National Guard can look back upon its five years' history with a certain glow of pride and measure of satisfaction. The Corps is a standing witness to the spirit Of Volunteers in England and in London especially - the spirit which triumphantly carried this country through its time of crisis. From the furrow and the country-house, from the workman's cottage, the little villa of the clerk, the palace of the rich, the young men came streaming to the Colours at the time of Britain's peril. They had no liking for soldiering and assuredly no love for war. Peaceful by nature and training, they had asked only to be left to their work or their sport, and the Germans scoffed at the idea that out of such material an army could be trained which would face their well trained hosts. From every part of our vast Empire these quiet citizens gathered for the bloody business of war, and showed themselves the finest soldiers in the world. That is the wonderful thing about it all - Old Army, Territorials, Volun teers, men from the backwoods of Canada, the cornfields of Australia, the mean streets of the East end of London - there was nothing to choose between them. Into the actual fighting - line the National Guard, as a body, was never called, although, had the occasion arisen, there is no doubt the Corps would have given a good account of itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The summer sun was setting on the farm fields around the tiny village of Givry bringing 20 July 1918 to a close. Dark groupings of trees cast their shade on the slopes between the small French towns of Belleau and Bouresches. The trampled fields of wheat belied the struggle that had taken place over the mile of sloping ground between the hollows of Belleau Wood and the low rise that had been labelled by Allied planners as Hill 190. Crumpled olive drab-clad bodies told the tale of murderous machine gun fire and the deadly accuracy of German artillery. On the summit of the hill, 38 year old Maj. James W. Hanson, commanding the US Army's 1st Battalion, 103rd Infantry Regiment, paused from directing the digging-in efforts to jot down a note: 'Tell the Colonel we have taken and are consolidating the position, but have had tremendous losses, have less than 200 men in the line available for duty but will hold the position to the last man'" --

Download or read book The Mexican Expedition 1916 1917 written by Julie Irene Prieto and published by St. John's Press. This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 9 March 1916, the forces of Doroteo Arango, better known as Francisco "Pancho" Villa, attacked the small border town of Columbus, New Mexico. In response to the raid, President Woodrow Wilson authorized Brig. Gen. John J. "Black Jack" Pershing to organize an expedition into Chihuahua, Mexico, in order to kill or capture Villa and those responsible for the assault. By 15 March, 4,800 Regular Army soldiers had assembled in Columbus and Camp Furlong, the Army garrison just outside of the town's center. These men fanned out into the Mexican countryside on horseback in small, highly mobile cavalry detachments-sometimes led by local guides or by the Army's Apache scouts-that could cover large swaths of sparsely populated and rough terrain. Cavalrymen employed skills and strategies developed in the preceding decades on frontier campaigns in the West and in warfare against irregular, guerrilla forces in the Philippines. The Mexican Expedition, popularly called the "Punitive Expedition," was to be one of the last operations to employ these methods of warfare and one of the first to rely extensively on trucks. It also provided a testing ground for another new technology-the airplane. During the eleven months that Pershing's expedition was in Chihuahua, U.S. troops failed to kill, capture, or even spot Pancho Villa, but the impact of the expedition reached far beyond the deserts of northern Mexico. The approximately 10,000 regulars that served in the Punitive Expedition gained experience in large, multiunit field operations at a time when small-unit actions were the norm. The Mexican Expedition, 1916-1917, by Julie Irene Prieto, examines the operation, led by General John Pershing, to search for, capture, and destroy Francisco "Pancho" Villa and his revolutionary army in northern Mexico in the year prior to the United States' entry into World War I. This campaign marked one of the final times cavalry was used on a large scale, and it was one of the first to use trucks and airplanes in the field. While Pershing's troops failed to capture Villa, both Regular Army troops and National Guardsmen stationed on the border gained valuable experience in these new technologies.

Download or read book Texas and World War I written by Gregory W. Ball and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 11, 1918, what was then called “the Great War” ended. The consequences of four years of warfare in Europe reverberated throughout the world, leaving few places untouched. Even though it was far from the scenes of conflict, Texas was forever changed, as historian Gregory W. Ball details in Texas and World War I. This accessible history recounts the ways in which the war affected Texas and Texans politically, socially, and economically. Texas’s position on the United States border with Mexico and on the western edge of the American South profoundly influenced the ways in which the war affected the state, from fears of invasion from the across the Rio Grande—fears that put the state’s significant German American population under suspicion—to the racial tensions that flared when African American soldiers challenged Jim Crow. When thousands of Texas men were drafted into the U.S. Army and the federal government developed a host of training grounds and airfields (many close to the state’s burgeoning cities) in response to U.S. entry into the war, this heavily rural state that had long been outside the national mainstream was had become more “American” than ever before.
