What scenes of horror and carnage! I cannot find words to translate my impressions. Hell cannot be so terrible! Men are mad! 2. Some Americans disagreed with the United States’ initial refusal to enter WWI and so they joined the French Foreign Legion or the British or Canadian army. A group of U.S. pilots formed the Lafayette Escadrille, which was part of the French air force and became one of the top fighting units on the Western Front. 3.MargarethaZelle (1876-1917), also known as Mata Hari, was a Dutch exotic dancer accused of being a double agent.
