Cool pickup of the day, the semi-official history of the French Army in the Crimean War. This copy was owned by the family of Robert Shaw Sturgis, the Uncle of Robert Gould Shaw.

I talked with Dr. Warfield recently about my chapter in her upcoming book on #WWI battlefield pilgrimages. My work focuses on the efforts of French Jewish veterans to remember the fallen and combat the rising tide of antisemitism.

Two new episodes on the French participation in #WWI are now out! Dan and Spencer invited me back to talk about the Armée coloniale and the Armée d’Afrique. I hope these serve as a good introduction to both organizations for the English speaking #history world!

Today marks the 107th anniversary of the start of the largest battle in American History. The Meuse-Argonne Offensive would last from Sept 26th until Nov 11th. Bigger that Gettysburg, larger that Normandy or the Bulge, the Argonne was a literal hell for those who fought there. #WWI #FWW #History

"In the pages of history that America has written in France there stands one name suggestive of individual bravery, of splendid morale under trying conditions, of doggedly pursuing the Hun despite many temporary machine gun obstacles ; that is the battle of the Argonne… " -With the 112th in France.

I've only seen one picture of me this weekend at the United States Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC)'s annual Army history weekend, and it's mid hot dog. Which makes sense.
