WRITINGS - Page Two

For tons of image sources and information about UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN  go to THE ENGINE ROOM and click on one of the search engines. Then enter the words "United War Work Campaign".    Include the quotes for the proper phrase search.  This page of WRITINGS focuses on POEMS, QUOTES, perhaps a funny story or two and of course SUBMARINE STORIES.  I would appreciate knowing of any other links to well documented   (well researched)  stories about our military - any branch - any era. Thanks Sid Harrison Image to the left was copied from the website of BJ Omanson's  [ Scuttlebutt and Small Chow ] This image is a smaller detail that was part of a larger WWI poster. A local copy of the full poster is HERE.   Why the sailor was sitting in the mud with a bunch of soldiers while absorbed in his reading is rather curious. [  Access the full poster at The Library of congress collection ]

Omanson copied the image from the book WAKE UP AMERICA! WORLD WAR I AND THE AMERICAN POSTER by Walton Rawls.     The artist is John E. Sheridan, and the poster advertised the American Library Association, UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN, Week of November 11, 1918.  Image is U.S. Gov. and is in the public domain.
