Decade - 1940s

Yes! Polo shirts were popular for little boys as early as 1929, and as normal street wear rather than sports wear. I can't find any reference to when little girls started wearing them, but in the early 20th century clothing was very gender differentiated for children and though polo shirts became common sportswear for adult women I don't imagine little girls wore them as much.

During World War 2 many kids were evacuated from major cities to the countryside to escape the Blitz. Polo shirts are not found amongst the UK government's recommended list of clothes for them to take, but being durable, hard wearing, comfortable, cheap to make and sell, and going with almost anything, I imagine polo shirts would have been very popular clothes to dress evacuees in! I also believe that evacuee girls were the first little girls to start wearing polo shirts like boys did, as well. During world war two fashion for kids became more unisex (girls started to wear shorts, for example, which up until then had been the hallmark of a little boy.) This was partly due to the practicalities of evacuation, partly due to the "home front" movement in which women and children had to work and help the war effort at home (many of whom wore male clothes.)

Today the chances are if you know a child he or she has a few polo shirts in his or her wardrobe - they're comfortable, cute and go with anything, as well as being durable, hard-wearing and perfect for a kid. They're uniform for many primary schools, secondary schools, gym uniforms, in the UK cubs and brownies, some kids clubs, sports clubs, even kids' jobs like paper-rounds... I think they owe their trademark kid polo shirts mainly to the evacuees!

Dunkirk, France. The British Expeditionary Army had been forced back by the German troops to the Channel coast and was expected to have to surrender there. But Hitler - for reasons never fully explained - ordered his troops not to make the final attack just then.

This gave the British navy the opportunity to start a rescue operation. An enormous flottilla of navy and private ships managed to evacuate most of the British army from the Dunkirk beaches before the Germans finally moved in.

well for one thing the Germans were pounding the British and in World War 1 and 2 they would have eventually went down if the U.S. hadn't intervened so uh yeah they aren't useless at all actually, they would not hav beaten the British, because they were unable to invade across the channel, because the RAF beat the German air force, so uh yeah they were useless at beating the Brits, oh, and 1966

They were generally big enough for a large table, and there was less counter space then there is today.
The stove and range were always free standing not nested in between cabinets
and they were nearly always gas fired, most had a chimney.
Cabinets were built in place so the interiors were open from one end to the other.
Counter tops were frequently made of linoleum with a metal edge.
There were very few electrical outlets (as there were very few electric kitchen appliances)

Yes, there are lists of names of Filipino U.S. veterans, particularly those who served during World War II. Organizations such as the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office and various veterans' groups maintain records of Filipino veterans. Additionally, some historical archives and databases, like the National Archives in the U.S., may contain relevant information. However, comprehensive and publicly accessible lists may vary in availability and completeness.

World War II happened in the 1940's, and it was maddening indeed.

In order to maintain peace, nothing can bring discord. Attacks on your homeland can bring discord, unless you can successfully defend the homeland. Preparing for war allows you to defend yourself. Therefore, preparing for war insures no discord from attacks, and thus, insures that peace is maintained.
