Here's an early two-part animation about the need for U.S. soldiers of the Great War to be patient and wait until the army, facing an unprecedented logistical challenge in demobilization, got to them. The cartoon's humor relies on negative sterotypes of a certain kind of woman who would lead gullible good men astray.

It's hard for me to believe that this Red Cross Moving "Fort" was actually used to convey soldiers between trenches. How could that small wheeled frame make it across the Western Front's rough terrain? And how could such a light-weight protective shield offer meaningful cover? -- Photo by Bain News Service, ca. 1914/15. Source: Library of Congress, loc.gov/pictures/item/20146994.

My birthday present from @ladymondegreen. A great present for anyone who's deeply interested in history! I've seen several bibliographies that list it as the essential starting point for anyone reading about the origins of the War. It's also hard to find, at least in English translation, which is why I didn't already have a copy.

Some trivia I've learned from the history I'm currently reading:
- Yes, the family that founded Haig Whisky was indeed the same one that produced General Sir Douglas Haig.
- The person to popularize "Establishment" as a pejorative was David Lloyd George.
- The military band that played triumphant music on top of Mt. Santo after its capture in the Eleventh Battle of the Isonzo was conducted by Arturo Toscanini.
