The 111th Infantry Division went to France.
AnswerThe 111th Infantry, currently part of the 56th SBCT, Pennsylvania Army National Guard earned WWI campaign credit for: Champagne-Marne Aisne-Marne Oise-Aisne Meusse-Argonne Champagne Lorraine AnswerI have a photo of my great grandfather (Archie L. Jenkins)taken durning WWI. the sign the soldiers are holding up says "H company, 111th INF AEF. LE MANS France" there are approx 200 soldiers in this photo. the photo is about 1 foot tall and 4 feet wide. my Great Grandfather is in the top row near the center. All of the soldiers in the front row are sitting on the ground and are carrying 1917 enfield rifles, except 1 soldier has a 1903 springfield. AnswerCindy - The 111th Regiment was part of the 28th Infantry Division, in the 56th Brigade with the 112th Infantry Regiment and some smaller units. They first fought on the Marne and then pushed up to the Vesle River at Fismes and then on to the Aisne River.I am writing a book partially on a very serious battle that the 111th took part in at Fismette, just north of Fismes. I can give you good sources if you wish to study this in detail.
Do you know the company he was in? Then I could tell you more. For example, Co. B went into Fismette 8/25/18 with 120 effectives and 48 hours later they had only 8 effectives left, only one officer, who was gassed and shot.
Consider e-mailing me as I don't see this site often if you have more questions. Bob

How did America's response to the Japanese raid differ from Japanese expectations?
Japanese leadership did not believe that the Americans were racially "pure" enough to endure their attack. They truly believed that we would just give up and let them take over the Pacific. The response from the Allied forces was far more than they expected. They believed that Germany would defeat the Allies in Europe, and that there would be little of the Allied military forces left to do battle in the Pacific. They learned what the U.S. and other Allied forces were capable of doing when the Japanese military effort was destroyed in every Pacific battle. They miscalculated again when they believed that the Allied forces would not be willing to occupy Japan. They wanted to force terms of surrender that would allow the Japanese military to remain intact and allow Japan to rebuild and take over the Pacific at a later time, after they had learned from their earlier mistakes. The Japanese military was willing to allow millions of Japanese citizens to die by sending them to their death, defending the Japanese beaches with pitchforks, swords and sticks against the invading Allied forces. The belief was that the Allies would not be willing to fight that battle and that the Japanese would remain soverign. Instead, the Allied forces were determined to win this war and never be required to fight it again. They had learned their lesson from Germany at the end of WW1 and vowed to make their enemy incapable of fighting at any time in the near future. Japan did not expect that reaction.
What was the political impact during World War 2 on America?
people figured out that women were actually really good at certain jobs and found that women did all the jobs that men did better. The women were much better than men but no one listened and women still didn't get heard ever. IF a women was skilled at a job and another man had no skills at all, she would have equal or much less to the man who has no experience. Women rule!

The reasoning behind America's decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan was that?
The USA hoped to end the war with Japan sooner, rather than the wearying business of capturing more and more islands at great cost to the manpower of the American armed forces. And indeed that's what happened, Japan surrendered a few days after the second A-bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.

How did canned food help during world war 2?
Canned food was used in the K Rations and the rations of the UK forces world wide. This allowed the troops to get protein, fruit, vegetables that were not dried and blah. However, most troops hated the Spam ham and even wrote back home to their families not to send spam. Some of the poor navy boys got spam for one straight month, particularly on the submarines.
Did General Patton have a learning disability?
Yup, he's dead. I couldn't help it, I'm just joking. Patton was one of the great military leaders. When he was a kid he had Dyslexia and Attention Deficit Disorder, of course those words were not in use back then. His parents helped him and got him tutors. It's been a while since I read his biography, but those are the only sorts of disabilities I can think of, and they are also a reason that made him who he was, because he always had to try harder.
