Trenches

Our regiment - the Seaforth Highlanders - is doing its share. About the beginning of March ... half a dozen of us were quartered in an old farmhouse, about a quarter of a mile from our first line trenches. We had scouted round and found wood and potatoes and had got a nice stew nearly ready when we heard noises in the air, followed by a loud explosion behind us. Two or three more came along, each one getting nearer, so we decided we had better move

Intro: in the film Gallipoli by peter weir uses characters Billy, Barney, Snowy and Archy to illustrate the thoughts of young Australians at this time. E.g. War was a great escapade not to be missed out on. The director shows this to us by bringing us to Australia and showing how the young Australians were eager to see new things. And then again in Egypt by making it look like so much fun. But when the film comes to the last section peter weir shows the harsh brutality of war. Body1: peter weir shows

trench warfare”(Tucker 133). Artillery may have not been very transportable but this contributed to trench warfare as it was stationary and very powerful. Artillery was the ideal weapon on taking out tanks as artillery weapons would be set up in the trenches and tanks would come to try to take over the enemy lines and artillery guns could blast the tanks with its powerful shots. Artillery was a piece of technology during ww1 which was highly needed and lead to different military tactics such as trench

as a justification to blame the Scientific Jews. The fact that the Pandemic introduces darkness to the citizens of the earth, many do not know why these scientists do not take into consideration the Trench fever, mustard gas and the fleas in the Trenches for the rapid increase when determining how the virus spreads. While the combination seems obvious to many veterans, the governments do not proclaim the German warfare justification for such a tragedy that breeds disease and pestilence. Whatever

escape, I refuse. We must make plans to defeat the enemy. I scan the bushes on the driveway and near the doorway. Those clumps of shrubs are deep trenches that can hide the soldiers and I on a battlefield. We are up against it. “Guys, I have an idea. I going to attack the eagle with the hose at the front of the battlefield. I will use the few trenches as cover from the enemy’s damaging gaze.” I give my first order as self-elected general, electing myself on a dangerous path in the most chivalrous

Militarism Militarism is when a country invests money in their military to increase its size and strength. Germany began doing this before WWI which caused raised tensions throughout Europe as well as some other countries militarizing too and when a country builds a new, big military they want to use it. Nationalism Nationalism is the act of one loving their country and believing that it is superior to all others. In turn this caused WWI because it was nationalism that caused the Black Hand to assassinate

“Trench warfare is a type of fighting where both sides dig deep trenches in the ground as a defence against the enemy. The World War 1 trenches could stretch many miles and made it almost impossible for one side to advance on the other,” (Kidskonnect). We still had men lining up in the middle of fields firing at each other and running at each other, but instead of standing out in the open, men were sitting in trenches, shooting at the enemy from behind cover. Because of this, many battles

Thinking about war is a vile image to civilians, but also shallow in knowledge; their conception of war is nothing compared to the horrors that come with the experience of war including what it feels like to have to avoid constant attacks, to have run on minimal food, and to experience death on a daily basis. On the front, soldiers are forced to be on the lookout for random incursions that come their way; it can unexpectedly appear in a variety of deadly forms including shells, gas attacks, open

camps was in lines, straight and organised. We see this when Tommo explains that “we lived every moment of every day together, and usually in lines. We lined up together for shaves, for food, for inspections. Even when we dug trenches, they had to be in lines, straight trenches with straight edges.” Life

under the other plate. When this happens, melting of the plates produces magma. The magma rises up through the overlying plate, erupting to the surface as a volcano. Subduction zones are also where Earth’s deepest ocean trenches are located and where deep earthquakes happen. The trenches form because as one plate subducts under another, it is bent downward. Earthquakes occur as the two plates scrape against each other and as the subducting plate
