Indians on the Western Front in France

I watched some footage of Indians on the Western front in France with the British army. I picked this clip because I had no idea that Indians had anything to do with the Great War. One tribe in the clip, the Sikhs, were seen building trenches, operating machine guns, and dancing around. They had their own regiments, but still got to go out into combat like the rest of the soldiers. One thing that the Indians would do a lot in the clip was build things such as periscopes in workshops. They seemed to be doing more manual labor than any other soldiers. The fact that native Americans were helping in the war not only in the shops, but in the battlefield as well as very interesting. http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ww1lit/education/pathways/path/kd7bq7/16

Great White Fleet Day 2

Today I found some great templates for my postcard. For example, I found a picture of the crew jumping off the bow into the water in the Red Sea. It shows the story of the Great White Fleet from the crews perspective and how they joined to go on adventure. I also found the path of the Great White Fleet around the world and where they went. http://www.greatwhitefleet.info/

Great White Fleet

There was no lack of fun on the USS Connecticut as they received their own kangaroo from the city of Sydney, Australia. http://web.ebscohost.com/src/detail?vid=4&hid=11&sid=09085775-285f-4997-83f5-64d06ba60744%40sessionmgr104&bdata=JnNpdGU9c3JjLWxpdmU%3d#db=khh&AN=27523189
When in Egypt, there was an earthquake in Sicily, thus giving the USA a chance to help them out and spread good will to the world. http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq42-1.htm
Parties were no small occasion as the arrival of 12 ships brought a 2 mile party into Seattle. http://web.ebscohost.com/src/detail?vid=4&hid=18&sid=09085775-285f-4997-83f5-64d06ba60744%40sessionmgr104&bdata=JnNpdGU9c3JjLWxpdmU%3d#db=nfh&AN=2W62W61038004795
