Colonel Colville Failure

Got some time to spare in my dugout to finish my monthly green envelope. The officers will probably not be censoring this one. Maybe at the Base. I received a letter from you few weeks ago dated Feb 5. You must be worried since the last envelope I had sent you few months ago. I am well. But its was very unfortunate for one of my buddies in the dugout had been heavily wounded in the Arras area and died when he was treated. Many had been killed in action too. On the other hand John is as usual. He has always been convincing himself that he would live through the war for his wife and daughter back in Canada. Please give his regards to his family.

I am grateful for all of the brave women who have volunteered to be nurses though. Their help is very much needed. Even with the volunteer’s help though, for the past three days I have barely gotten a moment's rest. I was constantly dressing wounds, bring food and water to wounded soldiers on the streets of the battle field underneath the painfully hot sun. On the first day I was dressing the shoulder wound of a soldier in the church. He told me how General Robert E. Lee of the Confederates had gained a strong position on Culp's Hill to Round Tops. He also told me a about his friend who had to have his leg amputated. He said it was hit by a minie bullet in his leg. It shattered his bone and the sawbones had to amputate it. I've seem many soldiers over the past few days who also had to have limbs amputated. After the surgeons have performed an amputation they just simply throw the extra body part out. On the second day of the battle I could only imagine how many were wounded or dead already, and the battle was still raging on. Men were scattered across the streets and fields. I spent what felt like eternity running around in giving water to played out soldiers who had been trapped under the sun and had not had a drink for

Being in these trenches are not only dark, wet and smelly, but there are rats everywhere. These rats are not normal size they are the size of cats. They feed off of the dead bodies in the trenches. One of my fellow cabin mates is in charge of killing the rats. Yesterday I witnessed a rat eating his way through a human body while that person was still alive. These rats are causing as much stress as the Germans. Rats are not the only pests in the trenches. Another pest is lice. I cannot stop itching my head and body. The lice have affected everyone. I hope this letter finds you well. Please pray for me. Your son

Hey, how are you all doing out there ? Well, me I have just been trying to stay healthy and keep my head high so I can make it back to the only thing I have and that’s you all “my family”. I try not to think about you all too much because when I think about what's going on out there it makes me mad and I am so tired ‘’omg’’. We don't eat that much during war but when we get back to the base we eat pretty good, well actually really good. I notice that a lot of people donate food and medicine and first-aid kits too. I just got an Lee-Enfield rifle and it's a pretty nice gun, it can hold 10 bullets. I just been waiting to use it on, Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire against the Allied forces of Great Britain, and there are some

The past few months have been rough for the soldiers and I at Valley Forge. Our lack of resources has

The Battle of Antietam could have been a devastating and fatal blow to the Confederate Army if Gen. McClellan acted decisively, took calculated risks, and veered away from his cautious approach to war. There are many instances leading up to the battle and during the battle in which he lacks the necessary offensive initiative to effectively cripple and ultimately win the war. This paper is intended to articulate the failure of Mission Command by GEN McClellan by pointing out how he failed to understand, visualize, describe and direct the battlefield to his benefit.

After the Civil War, groups like the Freedmen’s Bureau were set up by the government and educational opportunities, medical help, and other opportunities were offered to newly freed African Americans. Later, the United States Government passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, which granted protection and more rights to African Americans. President Abraham Lincoln had many visions for Reconstruction and planned the movement. However, he was assassinated before any change occurred. Although plans were made by the government to help newly freed slaves, a group called the Ku Klux Klan threatened others to turn against African Americans. Black codes and other laws were passed by states to limit the new rights of African Americans. Sharecropping was a system set up to provide a

Yankees with an all out attack. If General Pickett and the Confederates were to be successful, they would've had two big victories in the North, and the Union would most likely surrender the war. If Pickett was to be unsuccessful, it would keep the hopes alive for the North, for they would take momentum in the war. General Lee put Pickett in a tough situation which could have made him a hero, or the biggest mishap of the war. Pickett’s slow march toward the

Wilson reports that one of the most exceedingly awful abominations professedly committed against the African American soldiers happened at Fort Pillow, Tennessee on April 12, 1864, when the Confederate Army unpredictably murdered approximately three hundred black fighters. The fort, stormed by General Nathan Bedford Forrest's troops, had surrendered. General Nathan Bedford Forrest would later become an organizer of the Ku Klux Klan The Union Army claimed that the killing of the black soldiers was a massacre; yet, the Confederacy denied this claim, stating that the soldiers died in the fighting before the surrender. This massacre failed to weaken the courage of the black soldiers, but rather raised their determination and many black soldiers

On December 5, 1942, US Public Health Service (USPHS) worked cooperatively with Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in response to the medical demand and were appointed to the camps. The USPHS provided medical personal and the INS supplied administration and funds in wartime conditions to the German, Italian, and Japanese internees. (Fiset, Louis) However many prisoners were neglected and died from lack of resources and personnel in light of the military draft. Incarcerated Japanese American doctors were employed to assist in hospitalizing the patients but were paid low and supplies continued to be short in supply. Health care was limited and poor in quality because of low supplies from crowding, shortage of staff, and camp living conditions infringed on the internees that thus resulted in issues with acquiring supplies and accommodations for medical operations and

Another battle was about to being. We needed to move our troops into pennsylvania and set up camp. While we were in Valley Forge, storms began to hit. The climate was too much for us, and the nearby traders refused to sell to us, patriots. Now, illness is spreading quickly throughout our small encampment. Almost half of us stationed here are bedridden and are unable to battle. (Document A) The conditions keep getting more and more horrid as the smoke from cooking the disgusting food is starting to fill the cramped lodges. (Document C) I don’t think that I can take any more of being around the coughing, the wheezing, and the dead. (Document B)I will leave soon, for it is December and my contract is over. Good luck to anyone still in the camp,

How are you and the kids? I miss you so much and wish I could be at home with you, John, and Anna. I don’t spend a day without thinking about you and the kids and it has been such long time since I’ve held you in my arms. How is the bakery business going? I hope running the business while taking care of John and Anna isn’t too stressful. I’m writing to you from a camp reserve right now, and it’s been a week since we captured Vimy Ridge. It has been so cold, wet, and muddy, and I’ve been struggling to keep warm so if possible, it would be helpful if you could send a few pairs of socks. While resting in the trenches during the battle,

Also, Shaw requests shoes and socks from the quartermaster, but he gets denied until he finally forces the quartermaster to give the men new shoes and socks. Furthermore, all soldiers were guaranteed a monthly wage of $13, but the solders in the 54th regime learns that they will only receive a $10 monthly wage unlike other white soldiers. There are so many outside struggles depicted in the film, but the only consistent struggle within the infantry is the relationship between Trip and Thomas.

Since he desire to become a musician grew deeper, he started to pursuit for any opportunities to achieve his goal. In 1962 he met Leslie Kong a local record producer which gave him the opportunity to record a few singles. Singles entitled ‘Judge Not’ and ‘One More Cup of Coffee’ didn’t garner much interest at the time. However, this failure did not make him to stop what he loved to do. In 1963, Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, Peter Tosh, Junior Braithwaite, Beverly Kelso, and Cherry Smith were a group that would previously being named The Teenagers, they later changed to the RudeBoys and then The
