I think the all women should fight in front lines in the war because if the women are brave to take care of their kids while their men is in the war the should they are also able to fight in the front lines in the war.
It is not mandatory but is considered a courtesy. If you are working under a old fashioned camp commander, and you do not salute the high ranking POW officer, you may get a verbal reprimand stating about the great military values and traditions and how the enemy is not your personal enemy but a professional soldier, your brother in arms. However, if the enemy soldiers were notorious like the SS, there is normally no sympathy for them and they do not receive any respect. But, forces such as the Afrika Corps officers got salutes.

Who killed archduke Ferdinand and his wife on the of Sarajevo?
A man belonging to the Black Hand Gang who planned to assassinate him. I will tell you something interesting aswell - there was 6 members of the black hand gang and they had all positioned themselves along the road where the archduke and his wife were going to travel knowing that if one failed the person along next would try to kill him. It turned out that none of the members succeeded and the Arch duke and his wife Sophie got to the hall they were visiting. Meanwhile the members admitted defeat and one member, 19 year old Serbian Gavrilo Princip went to buy a sandwich. When the Archduke had finished the ceremony in the hall he came out and climbed into the carriage with his wife and they carried on travelling. Their driver made a wrong turn along the way however, leading the (open top!) carriage down a side road that unfortunately had Gavrilo walking down after buying his sandwich. When he saw them coming Gavrilo snatched the opportunity and reached for his gun........leading to him shooting two bullets (both aimed at the Archduke) but with a bonus one hit him yes but one also hit his wife. They both died that day on the 28 June 1914 - this is a milestone in history because it eventually lead to world war 1!!!! AsAlways Bee :) Xo

What were the trenches in kokoda like?
There were no trenches inKokodabecause they fought in the jungle. World war 1 (gallipoli) used trenches and it wasterrible. the soldiers were surrounded by dead bodies that had just been thrown down. also many would getdiseasessuch asmalaria. or there would be rats, mosquitoes, lice and many more just around and the soldiers would get sick from those. Also trench foot was a big one because after a while the soldiers boots would start to wear out and make holes so there feet would always be in the water. some soldiers trench foot was even permanent. I hope this helps!
