21. Vitai Lampada by Sir Henry Newbolt
THERE'S a breathless hush in the Close to-
night
Ten to make and the match to win -
A bumping pitch and a blinding light,
An hour to play and the last man in.
And it's not for the sake of a ribboned coat,
Or the selfish hope of a season's fame,
But his Captain's hand on his shoulder smote
"Play up! play up! and play the game!"

22. Vitai Lampada by Sir Henry Newbolt
The sand of the desert is sodden red, -
Red with the wreck of a square that broke; -
The Gatling's jammed and the colonel dead,
And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.
The river of death has brimmed his banks,
And England's far, and Honour a name,
But the voice of schoolboy rallies the ranks,
"Play up! play up! and play the game!"

23. Vitai Lampada by Sir Henry Newbolt
This is the word that year by year
While in her place the School is set
Every one of her sons must hear,
And none that hears it dare forget.
This they all with a joyful mind
Bear through life like a torch in flame,
And falling fling to the host behind -
"Play up! play up! and play the game!"

25. Notes #16c, Title: “Start of WWI Notes”
1) Schlieffen Plan: Germany’s secret plan (each
country had a plan they thought was fool proof)
a) 90% of Forces at France: Russia slow to mobilize,
knock France out first
b) Invade France from North: Defeat France by
surprise invasion thru neutral Belgium
c) Russia Last: Once France done, attack Russia
right as Russia troops mobilized in east

27. 2) UK Joins the War: Hesitant
to join to uphold alliance:
a) invading neutral Belgium

Huge crowds cheer their majesties at
palace - voted in Commons in five minutes.
German invasion of Belgium with airships
Great Britain is in a state of war with
Germany. Speaking in a crowded and hushed
House the Premier yesterday afternoon made
the following statement: 'We have made a
request to the German Government that we
shall have a satisfactory assurance as to
the Belgian neutrality before midnight
tonight.'
The German reply to our request,
officially stated last night, was
unsatisfactory.

29. 3) Schlieffen Plan Fails:

many things to go
right + wrong for
enemy

10) Trench Life: Dirty, wet, diseased, rat and lice
infested, feet rot, crowded, lack of sleep.
“My memories are of sheer terror and the horror
of seeing men sobbing because they had trench
foot that had turned gangrenous. They knew they
were going to lose a leg. Memories of lice in your
clothing driving you crazy. Filth and lack of
privacy. Of huge rats that showed no fear of you
as they stole your food rations. And cold deep wet
mud everywhere. And of course, corpses. I'd
never seen a dead body before I went to war. But
in the trenches the dead are lying all around you.
You could be talking to the fellow next to you
when suddenly he'd be hit by a sniper and fall
dead beside you. And there he's stay for days.”
