Favourite Agatha Christie’s Poirot episodes [8/10]: The Mysterious Affair at Styles

Hastings is sent back to England from the First World War due to injury and is invited to spend his sick leave at the beautiful Styles Court by his old friend John Cavendish. When the elderly owner of the estate, John’s step-mother Emily Inglethorpe, is found poisoned to death with strychnine in her bedroom, suspicion falls on the household, including Emily’s new much younger husband Alfred. Hastings solicits the help of his friend Poirot, a refugee of the war settling near the country estate.

Something very few people know;

Throughout World War I and World War II many Native Americans served as code talkers for the United States Army. These code talkers were from at least fourteen Native Nations including but not limited to the Comanche, Cherokee, Assiniboine, Cheyenne, Chippewa, Choctaw, Cree, Crow, Sioux and more.

These Soldiers went through basic combat training then developed and memorized a special military code using their language.

They created two codes over time; the first code had 26 Navajo terms for each English letter so that words could be spelled and the second code had 211 terms and was later expanded to 411 so that they could translate more words from English to Navajo.

In addition, they made a dictionary for military words that did not exist in Navajo.

In World War I, the 142d Infantry served in France and utilized a company of Native Americans who spoke 26 different languages and dialects.

Of these 26 languages only about 4 could be written.

Once WWII began, the Army searched for a new code due to fears that the one from WWI had been studied. The 4th Signal Company of the Army’s 4th Infantry division assigned 16 Comanches as code talkers to transmit and receive messages.

Then at Utah Beach at D-Day in France, Iwo Jima was taken in large part due to the Navajo code talkers.

In 2001, Congressional medals were awarded to Code Talkers. #armyhistory #nativeamericanheritagemonth #nativeamericansoldiers #dosomethingpositive for your #futureself #dosomethingworthwatching #contactmenow 615-429-0932 #usarmyreserve #yourarmyreservecareercounselor #parttimejob #fulltimebenefits #usarmyreserve #globallypositioned #globallyengaged #parttimeservicefulltimebenefits #parttimeservicefulltimepride #parttimeservicefulltimesuccess #armyhistory

gazing at the moon

No one who has not seen and struggled through it can, I am sure, realise a bit what that mud was like.  It was a horror quite apart, quite unlike anything else in this war! Imagine a man, wounded on patrol in front of our lines, or during an attack, struggling a few yards towards his people, overcome by the sucking ooze, sinking, sinking inch by inch, in full view of hundreds of willing friends, not one of whom can do a thing to him; sinking and sinking, until, though he calls and calls for help, he realises no help can come - and he begs for his own people to end his horror with a bullet! Many a time stout hearted ones went out to help, got within a yard or two only to join in the other's horror, and a bullet is much more merciful, even if fired by a comrade. I know it is horrible of me to describe all this, but it is all part, or was all part of the war.
