Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk D Company, 31st Battallion, Australian army, many of whom were buried at Fromelles Ninety years on, victims of a futile massacre exhumed from the mud Final resting place of troops killed in battle of Fromelles found by archaeologists The futile battle, for 400 metres of ground defended by a concrete tower of German machine guns which hours of allied artillery fire had barely scarred, has been called the worst 24 hours in Australian history, with more than 5,500 killed, injured or imprisoned, more casualties than the country lost in the Boer war, Korea and Vietnam combined The battle of Fromelles was barely reported at the time, overshadowed by the carnage happening 50 miles to the south on the Somme Some of the bodies were recovered by the allies, more rotted in no mans land until after the war, but the site of a mass grave dug by the Germans for hundreds of soldiers who fell within their lines was lost It was wrongly marked on maps and missed in the postwar recovery of bodies by both sides Tags: ww1, australia, casualties, vietnam, dead zum Artikel... Anzeige OBAMA CALLED HILLARY TWICE... AND GOT VOICEMAIL clipped by: reimers Clip Source: www.nypost.com Obamas victory will be made official with the vote of delegates at the Democratic convention in late August. It sets up a race between a 46-year-old opponent of the Iraq war and John McCain, a 71-year-old former Vietnam POW and supporter of the current US military mission. In his remarks, Obama complimented Hillary Rodham Clinton and even mentioned her husband, Bill, whos been deeply critical of him. Singling her out for praise for her stance on universal health care and poverty and calling her campaign "barrier-breaking," he said, "Our party and our country are better off because of her, and I am a better candidate for having had the honor to compete with Hillary Rodham Clinton." He tried to call her twice following the speech - but got her voicemail. She finally returned the call as his plane was about to fly out of St. Paul to Washington. He offered to meet with her, but nothing was finalized. zum Artikel... Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.
