RANDOM WW1 BOOK POST

too funny, it's worthy. so, reading a 1918 book by Floyd Gibbons, WW1 embedded american reporter. his boat,was torpedoed on it's way to england a few weeks before we joined the allies.
gibbons is following the new troops in england. a bunch of them were housed in the barracks at the tower of london. beefeaters took them into the dungeon. got everybody quiet and then a deep voiced beefeater went-'This is the place where Anne Boleyn was beheaded.' a bit later, an american asked, what did annie do?
floyd packs in the bits. the welsh fusliers recieved some americans and had a white goat wearing a medal. they told the americans their history and that they were at bunkers hill and they took the great great great grand goat of the white goat. very proud the welsh were. 'see, we still have your goat.'
and an american retorted, 'well, we have the hill.'

if i hit any other goodies from floyd, they shall be blogged.
