January 10, 1920. Germany signs the Protocol and the Great War officially ends (except for the U.S.). . .

In Russia, a platoon of American soldiers under Sheridan Wyoming's 2d Lt. Paul Kendall defeated an attack by a Soviet armored train near Posolyskaya, Siberia (entry from WyoHistory.org). Armored trains had become a strange but big feature of the Russian Civil War.

Kendall had been born in Kansas but raised in Sheridan. He entered West Point in 1916 and graduated in 1918, due to the shortened class cycle World War One caused. He received the Distinguished Service Cross for his action in Siberia on this day.

Kendall would go on to a career in the U.S. Army and rose to the rank of Lt. Gen., commanding troops in World War Two and the Korean War.

Some Gave All

Some Gave All is one of a series of our blogs which are basically photographic in nature. The main blog, the "hub", is Holscher's Hub, which is a general photo site. The general blog that we have that receives the most viewing attention is Lex Anteinternet, which started off, and which also remains, a blog for the study of historical topics of the 1890-1920 time frame, but which also deals with about everything else. Our daily Wyoming history blog is Today In Wyoming's History.

We also have four specific photograph blogs with dedicated topics, those being Churches of the West, Courthouses of the West, Railhead and Painted Bricks. Those blogs are dedicated to photographs of the topics their title indicates (more or less). This blog, while a history minded one, fits into the latter category. It depicts monuments, mostly war memorials, that we've run across in our travels.

Many of these photos, indeed probably all of them, were taken as the opportunity arose. It'd be rare here to find a photo in which we had gone out specifically to photograph the memorial. Because of that, they will not have a professional quality, as we have to take the monument, including the light, weather, and other conditions, as we find them. Still, that serves the purpose, which is to record monuments and memorials that otherwise would likely be missed by most people.
