Gallipoli

A Life Story A cool, fall day on September 4th, at 12:58 p.m., my life began. I was born in the town of Gallipolis with the weight of 7 pounds and 15 ounces. I recently moved to Oak Hill and now, as a senior, I go to Oak Hill High School. I’m currently living with my mom, Amanda; my dad, Jamie; and younger brother Blake. I also have an older sister Haleigh, who is a junior at The Ohio State University. To me, being the middle child is frustrating a lot of times, especially when my younger…

Bishop Daniel Payne as a missionary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in South Carolina. Richard Harvey Cain was born to a black father and a Cherokee mother in Greenbrier County Virginia, which is now in West Virginia. He was raised in Gallipolis, Ohio, a free state where he was allowed to read and write. He attended Wilberforce University and attended divinity school in Hannibal, Missouri. The American Civil War broke out while he was at Wilberforce. He later claimed that he and 115…

On the Eastern Front, the Schlieffen Plan was not succeeding. Russia mobilized its troops more quickly than the Germans expected. By late August of 1914, two Russian armies had made separate paths and pushed deeply into the German territory of East Prussia. They planned to drive a wedge between Germany and Austria-Hungary and attack Berlin. However, these plans failed. In the Battle of Tannenberg, one of Russia’s armies had been encircled and destroyed by German and Austrian troops. In the…

Being a mother is more than giving birth. I was born October, 31st, 1997 at Holzer Hospital in Gallipolis, Ohio. My mother’s name is Tonya Jeffers, however; I am not quite sure what it is now. I have lived with my father for most of my life. When I was born, my Father and mother were newlyweds. They had met right after High school and thought they were in love. By the time I was two my parents had decided to get a divorce. The custody battle was coarse at first, but I ended up living with my…

you're facing. Churchill, more than anyone knows what it is like to fail. Before he became Prime Minister, this acclaimed world leader was an aspiring politician in a lofty position in government, he proposed an invasion on the Peninsula of Gallipoli, where he hoped to gain control of the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas. The mission turned into a catastrophe when nearly 53,000 British and Allied troops were killed and no ground was gained. Churchill took the blame and was removed from…

High and extensive casualties were consequences of a world entrenched in the Industrial Revolution during World War 1. Beginning in 1914, World War 1 introduced new ways to engage in battle. There was a bit of learning curve involved as military leaders on both sides attempted to deal with the rapid changing climate of warfare. I found it interesting that military strategies were not afforded an opportunity for adaption in the midst of these changes. Trench warfare consisted of intricately woven…

from the University of Sydney. The Anzac spirit, or is it a legend, is something that is unique to Australians. We by far spend the most effort in keeping the spirit alive, but for what reason? The legend of the Anzacs was born in the heart of Gallipoli, were many Australian soldiers show great feats of strength, bravery and comradeship during the campaign. The Anzac legend envisions the ideal Australian soldier. Specific stereotypes are set that include bravery, mateship, and recklessness for…

Dear Marie, 21- 06 -1915 It is my 100th day away from you ‘my love’ and it hasn’t gotten any better. I thought the training in Egypt was hard but now I’m here I’m really struggling. War is nothing like what they told usit would be. Remember Arthur Baldwin he was only 17 I watched him die yesterday. The anxiety and fear I live with is terrible. I just would like to be home. The…

Ability to Operate with Foreign Forces Prior to 1914 the relatively young RAN had yet to take part in any sort of joint coalition operation, however, officers of the British Royal Navy (RN) were integrated into the RAN. This meant that if the need for a joint exercise arose they would have knowledge of how to act through these British officers who had prior experience (for example the Australian fleet was commanded by the RN officer, Rear Admiral George Patey). 11. On the 29th August 1914 the…

For thousands of years people have struggled with accepting people of colour and their place in society. There was a big issue in Australia in the 20th century with accepting the Indigenous people into the communities in a country that had been invaded by Europeans 200 years earlier. In the years before World War One, British-Australians believed themselves to be superior to the Indigenous People of Australia, the Australian constitution excluded Aborigines by not regarding them as Australian…
