    Reminds me of the “Thankful Villages” or the rarer “Doubly Thankful Villages” in the UK. The former for villages where none of the men died in WWI and the second where none of the men died in both wars. Kind of sobering when you realised that the majority of places suffered losses of their men.

      Kinda what people did back then. Low infant mortality was a new concept at the time.

      Looks like at least one pair of twins, I’m gonna guess more than one set of multiple births among them all.

      People downvoting are either poorly educated or in denial.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_liberation_of_France

      White American soldiers were much less likely to be executed for rape. 130 of the 180 troops charged with rape by the Army in France were African American. U.S. forces executed 29 soldiers for rape, 25 of them African American.

      Of course with a bit of that racist America flavour.

        People are downvoting because the topic is survival rate and while rape by military stsff is a huge problem, it isn’t something that is clearly linked to these particular soldiers.

              Honestly pug, you’d do us a service just to ban this dude. The guy starts idiotic fights and name calls everywhere he goes.

                Noted. This is the first time I’ve noticed him, or at least remembered his username, so for now I’ll keep an eye on him.

                Or you just don’t like othershaving different opinions?
