The men and women who served in the First World War endured some of the most brutal forms of warfare ever known. Millions were sent to fight away from home for months, even years at a time, and underwent a series of terrible physical and emotional experiences. The new technologies available to First World War armies combined with the huge number of men mobilized made the battlefields of 1914-18 horrific, deadly and terrifying places.

“I got up and pretended to study the pictures on the walls like I was a lover of religious art. When I got to the Merciful Mother right above Sinita’s head, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the bottom I’d found on the train. It was sparkly like a diamond and had a little hole in back so you could thread a ribbon through it and wear it like a romantic lady’s choker necklace. It wasn’t something I’d do, but I could see the button would make a good trade with someone inclined in that direction.

     A typical day in my grandfathers’ life at the time was to wake up at the crack of dawn and get ready for a full day of combat, well at least for the ground troops that didn’t have a tank to be protected by. Of course for him, driving a tank was easier then being a ground troop. So that made things a little easier. He told me every day the main thing he did, and I quote, “kep my

List and describe the four force multipliers. How do terrorists us force multipliers? Give examples for each force multipliers.

I could see men falling in all sorts of strange ways and I couldn’t help but think about what jack had said. Then all an artillery shell from big Bertha fell between me and jack. As the world around my swirled in a storm of fire and shrapnel I knew that I wouldn’t see jack alive again and as the mud fell from the sky I found his broken body. After paying my respects to him I decided it was no time to start grieving so I started my mad as hell sprinting back up and charged into the dogged enemy lines. I dodged around the shell holes, jumped over the fallen, jinked and jived to dodge the bullets that were flying towards me, throwing myself flat whenever I heard the whine of big berthas shells and cringing at the screams of the injured. When I was 100 meters away from the German lines I fired my rifle blindly at them, after I ran out of ammo I slammed a new magazine in and charged once again. I raced over the top of the trench and felt hot blood spay on me as my bayonet dug deep into a Germans chest. I pulled it out and started fighting them alongside the rest of my battalion. By the time we had defeated al the Germans I was covered head to toe in their blood I thought “at least the rains will wash it out.” While I steadied myself against the trench walls I started crying all the horror of this battle and losing jack had left me torn on the inside as the reality of all that had happened dawned upon me. I was so upset I didn’t even notice the pig of a sergeant come up to me, “Oi soldier” he said in his pommy accent “go down that dugout and look for some supplies” so I did as I was told. Halfway into the dugout I felt the earth shake and heard a horrific BOOOOOOOM and as everything went black I couldn’t help but think “will I be joining jack up there in

To tackle the housing affordability, first of all, it is crucial to lift the supply of housing as it will release the pressure on the housing price. Nevertheless, the supply of housing is inelastic as it requires an adequate fund, time, approval from the Government. Besides, the housing system is heavily dependent on the private sector. Thus, the Government should provide initiatives for housing providers to shift the supply of houses in the market. Australia would follow the policies from other countries to tackle the housing affordability. However, it has to fit in the Australian context. These policies might work well in other places but it does not mean that it will be applicable in Australia. The Singapore Government has a public

All bullets were counted, beds made, uniforms cleaned, this occurred until suddenly 03:45 arrived. “Men, the time is nearly here,” my words choked as self-hatred flooded my body, “What we do here today will be remembered for generations to come, we fight today not only for ourselves, but all who we know. All our mates and family who live back home!” A faint cheer followed my speech as I steadied myself for what was to come. “We charge in 5 minutes. We charge not only for our freedom but for the freedom of our country. For the freedom of the world!” Spit filled the air from the cheer which erupted from my unit this time. A unity formed over the men, a cold malevolent sweat captured me. Who was I to send these boys to their death? A resolve set inside me, I would fight alongside my men, their lives are worth the same as mine. 04:00 “THIS IS IT MEN! WE FIGHT FOR THE WORLD!” I screamed as I led the charge. Vaulting out of the trench I saw no man’s land clearly for the first time. Death was everywhere, flies swarming the pools of blood. The land so barren of life no greenery was seen. A cold resolution set over me, it was the Germans fault, they caused

The arguments I choose to assess for truth and validity will be three statements taken from the Application's list 12.2 (a -y) at the end of Ch. 12, “The Art of Thinking” publication. I will start with the statement (j) the premise that "power must be evil because it can corrupt people." Checking the argument for any hidden premises and ensuring it is stated fully and in a clear concise way is the first step. This argument seems to pass the first hurdle, however after checking for errors affecting truth, the argument has flaws. Beginning with, the part of the argument that says power corrupts people is not true

Sally Dingo the author of Ernie Dingo the King of the Kids, positions us as we read through the book for us to feel almost we had known him all through his life, and that we are like mates toward him. we may feel sympathy for one of their beloved family member dies or admiration for Ernie’s sporting talents in basketball, he was usually called ‘show pony’.

The trenches became overcrowded while the sound of rattling machine guns and wounded horses rang in my ear. I was lucky enough to survive, only receiving a small splinter of debris within my arm. But I hate to say, it’s all too overwhelming for me. You don’t know what will hit where and who will hit when. Only those with experience know how to act out here, the veterans. The veterans endure extensive training but us recruits do not have those opportunities. I assume they don’t feel what I do anymore. Perhaps they feel too noble to ever get anxious or scared. And let’s just say that non-coms are a pain in the rear end. During our first day, we were introduced to the lanky, stern- eyed corporal Schumacher. The presumptuous corporal who sticks his chest out high, flaunting his badges and his title. Most of the time we are bullied by these men as they can’t swallow their glory. And all my old friends back home see me as brave and courageous. But I don’t feel brave or courageous, I feel cowardly. Nearly all of the other recruits wear their emotions on their sleeves, either caught standing still or their body catching a rhythmic tremor. But neither is any good for the field. I can’t blame them,

The thirty of us were all crowded in one of the many boats headed toward the beach. I was the only communications expert in the group, and the only 17 year old newbie. The rest of the squad consisted of infantry and one battlefield doctor. The sky had turned cloudy and the water was freezing cold. There was an eerie silence as my company’s hearts beat faster as land was in sight. The smell of ozone filled the air and punctured our nostrils. Suddenly, the silence was broken as bullets pinged the metal of our boat, and instantly killing half of my company. Screaming from wounded men filled the air, drowning out my voice. We had arrived at Normandy.

Now, if Reno was the one who was dead, y’all need to be questioning me, but I’m not trying to go to jail for killing a woman who’s going through the same thing I’m going through. We’re both the victims of Reno.”
