The Great War Continues..

We have a lot to accomplish over the next few days of class.  With the defining moment presentations taking place on Thursday and Friday there will be interruptions to the general "flow" of things, so you will need to be even more focused than usual.  I am really looking forward to these presentations, and I know all of you are going to do your best!

Today we will be finishing up the overview of the war (and looking at the technology that changed warfare forever), discussing Sam Hughes and the Ross Rifle, having a interesting look (and a laugh or three) at the slang that was used during the war, and trying not to get itchy when we look at the typical equipment a Canadian soldier would carry, and the lice that infested his body, uniform and materials.
