Re: THE FIRST WORLD WAR THREAD.
Here's an interesting story about the Lusitania. Seems like a hundred years ago... before she was sunk and played a big part in getting the US into WWI, there was a little flag thing that caused a little upset.

Re: THE FIRST WORLD WAR THREAD.
The British give the Turks a defeat a hundred years ago. It was written up in the papers in the US. But a couple months later began the Gallipoli campaign and the old back and forth continued on as the who was beating who story continued from week to week and month to month and year to year.
