OK everyone, who knows what this medal is? It’s very small, it has a Bersagliere soldier on one side and an oak leaf motif on the other, with the words Guerra di Rendenzione. Google image searches come up with nothing. Any ideas? @andyblanck1

As a pilgrimage site, The 'Devil Dog' fountain in Belleau, France has captivated me for years, and I'm thrilled to share what I've uncovered through years of research. My latest article on the fountain has been published by Marine Corps History usmcu.edu/Outreach/Marin…

@prof_warfield @zach_ota Where did Zach get the bottle? Myself and several other retired Marines that all served together over the last 30 years recently went to the battlefield and fountain and brought home some of the water. Would like to get some of those display bottles.

1/ Thanks @zach_ota for sharing these photos. This is a glass vessel created to hold water from the “Devil Dog” fountain. The vessel is engraved with 1914-1918 to commemorate the years of WWI. The words Belleau Wood are also engraved,

The south door of the Church of St Mary and St David at Kilpeck, Herefordshire, with its celebrated 12th-century sandstone carving. Thought to be the work of local stonemasons. 📸2023

Buried since the Roman destruction of the Hebrew capital, the ancient road once walked by thousands of pilgrims from the City of David to the Temple Mount is now open to the public. Carved in stone, sealed under Jerusalem for millennia, it has been carefully uncovered step by step. Israelis can now walk the same stones as their forefathers. 📸 @cityofdavid

@nettermike @DavidJUrban He also advocated for WWI Gold Star Mothers of MIAs to visit the battlefields despite not having graves to visit. His advocacy worked and the pilgrimage act was amended to allow those mothers to make the pilgrimage.

Major General Smedley Butler was a paradox. He was a Quaker (a pacifist religion), yet he became the most decorated Marine in U.S. history at the time of his death. Like Dan Daly, he received the Medal of Honor twice. First at Veracruz, Mexico (1914), where he walked down the center of the street under heavy sniper fire to direct the attack, ignoring the bullets buzzing like bees around his head. Second in Haiti (1915), where he led a patrol into a rebel stronghold called Fort Rivière. The only way in was a small drainpipe. Butler crawled into the dark, wet pipe first, with a revolver in each hand, knowing a single enemy waiting at the end could kill him easily. He emerged inside the fort and engaged the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. But Smedley Butler's biggest fight came after the military. He became a whistleblower. In 1933, he exposed the "Business Plot"—a conspiracy by wealthy American industrialists to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt and install a fascist dictatorship. They tried to hire Butler to lead the coup because the soldiers loved him. Butler gathered their secrets and went straight to Congress. He destroyed the plot and saved American democracy. He then wrote a famous book titled "War is a Racket," criticizing the military-industrial complex and arguing that wars were often fought to make rich men richer. He proved that true patriotism sometimes means fighting your own government to save your country.

The sumptuous Romanesque carvings - including the beakhead decoration around the west door - of St Mary's, Iffley. Founded in the 1160s, this exquisite church is a short walk from Oxford along the Thames!
