1919
Best summaries competition will take place Monday - come prepared!
I expect the answers in your note books, so that you easily have them on hand for studying.
1) Watch the video below and take bullet point notes.
Is this a primary source, secondary source or a combination of the two? Explain
2) Make an 8 panel comic strip showing the point of view of German in 1919, telling some of the events we covered on Monday and some of what is talked about in the video you just watched.
3) Write these words/expressions in your book and their definitions:
b) How were the men shipped home? Was this confined only to Australia? Why or why not?
c) Why does the singer thank God that there was no one waiting for him? Explain
d) What do you think of their homecoming?
"The story began at a boy scout jumble sale in Peebles, Scotland, in 1956, where a 12-year-old boy purchased a set of bound volumes of World War Illustrated, a "penny-dreadful propaganda sheet" which had been published weekly during World War I.
Bogle says he devoured everything on World War I that he could find during his teens and knew many of the legends of Gallipoli and the Anzacs before he emigrated
[...] Conceived in 1971, the song was meant to be an anti-Vietnam War protest. Ironically, Vietnam veterans would later adopt it more than any other vets. Bogle says the World War I survivors he played it to were polite ("they came from a polite generation") and appreciative of the effort he had made to tell the story ("They knew I was nowhere near what the awful reality was. Of course I wasn't. I wasn't there. No song could really convey it."), but not as passionate as many Vietnam vets, who seemed to identify with the emotional truth of the lyric, if not its actual story."

The books were full of drawings of "brave Tommy bayoneting the fiendish Hun" and articles such as the one by Arthur Conan Doyle which explained how the British soldier's brain came to be larger than the German's. What fired the young Bogle's imagination, however, was not so much the words as the photography, the scratchy black-and-white pictures of life on the front line. Poring over these, he felt a sense of both the enormity of the conflict and its individual toll.
