Week 2 Day 4 Bonus Activity - Another World War - Women at Work

Imagining I am a nurse during WWII working on a large medical ship.  Here is my story:


One day you are walking along the deck of the ship when you hear a loud bang. You start to run as you see smoke coming from the far end of the ship. You run towards the room where your patients are waiting to receive treatment from the doctor. Just as you arrive at the door to their room you hear another loud bang and you . . . . fall to the ground in horror.
The ship was in silence. . . . . .BANG! The ship splits into two pieces and starts tipping on its side. Screams of fear echoed through the room.
All the equipment starts tipping, bottle's smash and bandages fall off their shelves.
The ship has now fully tipped over and everyone is now standing on the roof! NOT FOR LONG?!?!!

The room starts to slowly fill up with water and everyone's first reaction was to go to the door, except it was locked! Then they go for the window it was locked as well, so one of the soldiers struggled to stand up and smashed the window. They all got out one by one and swam to land. Some of the soldiers helped us to get to safety and put us with the other survivors. Once everyone goes back to their trenches the soldiers helped the captain of the ship get the radio on to contact the others to send in another ship.

2:12 AM the new ship arrived and had a new crew of soldiers and nurses we were saved!

How would your story go if you had been on the ship?

Week 2 Day 4 Activity 2 - Another World War - A Call to Arms

Did you know 22 New Zealanders have received the Victoria Cross Medal?

One of the 22 winners was Moana-nui-a-Kiwa Ngarimu.



He was the first Maori soldier to receive this medal.  He led his platoon to the lower hills, where he personally knocked out several machine gun posts.  Even though he had injured his shoulder and leg, he never left his position.  Unfortunately he was killed the next morning fighting another enemy.  His medal was presented to his family later that year.

I think he was very brave, and deserved to win the medal.
I have earned a shield for my community service as a St John Cadet.  Have you earned a medal/shield for anything?

Week 2 Day 4 Activity 1 - Another World War - An Eventful Experience

WWII

Many events happened over this time, I have chosen 2 events to blog about today.

The first event during WWII, I have chosen is the Invasion of Poland on 1st September 1939.

This started at 4.43am in the morning.  Germany sent over 1.5 million troops along the Polish border.  While at the same time the Germans bombed the Polish airfields.  German warships and u-boats attacked the naval forces too.  The Germans were lead by their Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.  Because of this attack, Britain and France then declared war on Germany.  Starting WWII.

United Nations formed 24th October 1945.  This is the second event I chose.
The United Nations was formed on this day, after WWII.  51 countries committed to international peace and security.  In hopes that another World War would not happen.
