Today in Labor History September 9, 1918: Scottish & Anzac troops at the Etaples army base launched a successful five-day mutiny against harsh treatment and bad conditions by attacking the military police and carrying out daily demonstrations. Siegfried Sassoon described the terrible conditions in his poem "Base Details." English writer Vera Brittain described the atmosphere in her book “Testament of Youth.” William Allison and John Fairley wrote about it in their 1978 book, “The Monocled Mutineer.”

in 1917 the Italian Chilean pilot Arturo Dell'Oro rammed an Austrian Hansa-Brandenburg C.I with his Nieuport XI because his machinegun jammed. He was 21yo.
He received the Gold Medal of Military Valour for this action. @histodons
