RE: Offboard or Onboard Artillery?
Do I? I thought I was caught up.
It will be later today. I'm about to head down to Tiger High and use their library. It's only open restricted hours now that school is out for summer.
I'm trying to tie down when the expression 'World War Two' was first used.
I cannot find any reference to it in FDR's speeches that are on-line. I know the collected speeches of Churchill are in hard copy at the Library.
As far as I can tell, during WW2, the war was called 'the War' and I have found a few references to the 'War against the Axis'. But none to World War Two. I think it was named WW2 AFTER it was over. I think that is also when WW1 went from the 'War to End Wars' to WW1.
I have to be able to prove it though, and proving a negative is not all that easy.
I'm part of an on-line effort to repackage the War on Terror. We are winning on the battlefield and getting or butts beat in the headlines.
