One of my favorite aspects of this class was the random pieces of information that we learned as we progressed through the different novels. Dr. Scanlon is an encyclopedia for obscure facts that pertain to WWI. Oftentimes, she would throw out a story or name that sparked an interest in multiple classmates. I would love to know what random fact has stuck with you throughout the semester, and/or what obscure bit of information you researched based on a class session? I personally went so far as to look up “unknown facts about WWI” and found this interesting little website. Fact numbers 1, 3, and 7, were the most surprising for me. Please feel free to reminisce or share brand new information!
