Research Paper On Joseph Kaeble

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

A long time ago in 1942 when the nations of the world have once again for the second time engaged in a world war. Men were once again sent to war and had to leave their families to fight a war for whatever country or nation they came from.  Some men were paratroopers that were flown in by plane. However, some men did not always have safe travels to their destinations and were often separated from their squad if they even managed to fall safely to the ground and survive the barrage of gunfire from the enemies below. There were some American paratroopers that ran into these problems when they were dropped into D-day.  One of them was named John Jackson. John Jackson was on one of the first planes heading to the beaches where one of the greatest

On October 3rd, 1918, Major Charles White Whittlesey, along with 500 soldiers of the 77th division, was trapped behind enemy lines without much food or water. Surrounded by hundreds of thousands of German soldiers, many of his men were killed or wounded.2 Within 24 hours, roughly 200 of the Allied

World War 1 has been and is being a key event for Canada’s military, and the roles that these Canadian soldiers portray hold a big significance to our nation Our soldiers are brave, courageous, mature and show leadership in spectacular ways. The roles that these soldiers portray have a great effect on the overall performance of a soldier as well. So far, our soldiers have portrayed roles such as: roles in the air, roles on the land, and roles on the sea. These roles are helping Canada to move on in the war and help them aim for victory.

The novel Top Guns by Joe Foss and Matthew Brennan is a biography about many brave, extraordinary aces back in World War 1 and 2. One pilot, Arthur Raymond Brooks, was born in Framingham, Massachusetts in 1895. He graduated as valedictorian from Framingham Academy and High School in 1917 (Foss, 4). Arthur didn’t want to continue school, so he enlisted in the U.S Army Signal Officer Reserve Corps. Also, he attended the School of Military Aeronautics, with the Royal Flying Corps in Canada from September to November 1917 (Foss, 3-5). In 1918, Brooks was transferred to France, where he flew the SPAD S. VII. After three victories he became flight commander of the 22nd Aero Squadron flying the SPAD XIII C.1. These three victories were not easy, Brooks took on eight German Fokker D. VIII aircraft. He shot down four Germans with God on his side, as Brooks said, “I am alive today because of things I learned to do in one case and things I knew nothing about in the other--special flying techniques and my guardian angel” (Foss, 14). Arthur was followed back by the four other Germans, extraordinarily,

SGM Frank Grippe is my modern day hero because as a young soldier I looked up to him because he was the one who took me in and mentored me to be the person I am today. SGM Grippe during Afghanistan in Operation Anaconda took his guys into combat and brought us all back many was injured but we didn’t lose anyone. We fought off God knows how many repeated attacks, did a lot of killing during a long night and endless day and night against al-Qaida who was trying to kill us with mortars and sniper fire in that icy windblown mountains. What kept us going was the feeling that we weren’t going to be put down by anybody. We were 1/87. Grippe’s battalion. SGM Grippe told us the night before we have been training

I was well known for the nickname “The Brown Bomber.” My friends nicknamed me that because I lost to Germany’s Max Schmeling. When I was a young boy, I suffered from a speech disorder and spoke very little until about the age of 6. I spent most of my early years growing up in the countryside of Alabama. My father, a sharecropper, was committed to a state mental hospital when I was two years old. My early life was shaped by financial struggles.

My soldier that I picked to research on is Percy Buckner, at 22 years old he was a 5ft 5in tall male with fair complexion, blue eyes and dark brown hair, He worked at the Post and Telegraph Department for eight years, he then went on to become a farmer with his parents Thomas and Emily Henrietta Buckner. He lived at 50 Norwich St, Christchurch. His brother William Thomas Buckner 40183 also served in the World War, where he died in October 1918. Percy enlisted in the army on 10th July 1917 under the number 62917 and was later assigned to D company, 32nd Reinforcements, Otago Infantry Regiment.

On the 22nd of November, he embarked from Wellington arriving at Liverpool on the 7th of January 1918. He was later marched into Sling Camp on the 8th of January and later, three months to be exact he was shipped to France on

Another individual who stands out from the Royal 22e Regiment is Lieutenant Jean Brillant, who was wounded not once, not twice, but three times! Here is his story. He was born on March 15, in Assemetquaghan, Quebec. In 1915, Brillant was enlisted in the 189th battalion, CEF. Later, in 1916, he was assigned to the 22nd Infantry Battalion. Due to his conduct during a raid in May, 1918, Brillant received the Military Cross. In August 1918, in France, he rushed and captured a German machine gun that was holding up the advancement of his company. He personally killed two of the machine gun's crew, and was wounded. Furthermore, Brillant later led two platoons in a successful attack on enemy positions, when he suffered his second wound. The next day,

I was born on November 21st, 1884. I decided to volunteer to serve when I was 32. I only served in war for about a year. My first hospital, was in Pennsylvania. I arrived at Le Treport in june 1917. I travelled with a nursing team at the end of July. When I got there, conditions were harsh. (Our) The third battle of Ypres was launched and many casualties were being dealt with by this

Captain Sobel was hard on the men often pushing them to their limit and was notorious for his chickenshit methods that got on the nerves of every single soldier under his command. As mentioned in the book “That feeling helped bring the company together. ‘No doubt about it,’ Winters said. ‘It was a feeling everybody shared. Junior officers, noncoms, enlisted men, we all felt exactly the same way.’ But, he added, ‘It brought us together. We had to survive Sobel.” (Ambrose 26) Shared experiences brought the men closer together and war is filled with such experiences from camping out in fox holes together to team training exercises every little bit added to the close bonds that were forming between the soldiers.

At the beginning of the war, the duties behind what the soldiers had to do were largely appreciated and they were held above others as heroes. People of warring countries were rushing to battle and their loved ones were supporting them all of the way. Battalions were even formed from work groups, as they already withheld an established chain of command, the members had a close knit bond, and there was a charismatic feeling about representing the country they worked in. The glorified fighting and risking of one’s life was soon changed.

Known for his resilience, demanding leadership, and blatant disregard for danger, “Mad Jack” Churchill redefined perceived combat tactics. A founding member of the British Commandos Churchill’s dedication to country and service redefined British warfare and tactics, and as a result he is seen as one of the most influential members of British

A few months ago, we watched a little movie in the geography lesson. We watched often movies about world crisises, so this wasn’t very special. But this movie touched me, it made me simply speechless. I never heard of it before and that is what shocked me the most. This movie was about the man who is on the first place of the international criminal list. This movie was about Joseph Kony! You might not know who Kony is so I will first tell you who Joseph Kony is, second I am going to tell you about the invisable children who are tortured by this man and I’ll finish with what we can do against it.
