The Doughboys: America and the First World War by Gary Mead ISBN: 9781585670611 on 2001 Pages: 493
Len's Summary: Highly recommended new look at the impact of American in WWI and its role in the Allied victory. Mead is a British journalist. Well worth reading even though Mead forgets that it was the Spanish-American War that catapulted the United States onto the world stage. Available form Amazon.com.uk and Barnes and Noble.
On Saturday March 12 the WW1HA hosted its first ever online quiz night. This was a fun way to get geographically distant members together virtually. We are considering doing this a few times a year.
The next issue of World War One Illustrated (WWOI) will be printed shortly. Members/subscribers should receive their printed issue in the next month or so.
Members are encouraged to participate in the monthly online seminars hosted by the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter; and we plan to announce a gathering of WW1HA members at the National World War I Museum’s Fall 2022 symposium. Stay tuned!
