Scrapbook Questions

PLEASE NOTE - the page numbers listed refer to the ACTUAL page listed
in the scrapbook, NOT the page of the .pdf!

1. How long would men spend in the trenches? How long did they get to
rest? (p.8-9 in the scrapbook, p. 10-11 in the pdf)
The men would spend fourty-eight hours in a trench and they would
rest for four days in the trench.
2. What was another name for lice?
Another name for the lice was called Itchie-coos
Why were some of the methods to avoid lice hard for soldiers to do in
the trenches? Some of the methods for the soldiers to do in the trench
were hard because 1) they had to keep on changing their clothes
whenever possible and sometimes they don’t have time since they are
in trenches most of the time. (p. 12-14 in the scrapbook, p. 14-16 in the
pdf)

3. Examine the articles on p.15 of the scrapbook, p.17 and answer the
following ?s :

a. What evidence is there that the Canadians were quite friendly

with the enemy during Christmas 1914?

They were quite friendly with the enemy because their

enthusiasm for the fighting was gone and I guess because of that
their hate for the enemy was gone and they hated going into war
much more than they hated the enemy themselves.

b. What evidence is there that the Canadians were much less

friendly during Christmas 1916?

The reason why the soldiers were much less friendly was because
the Senior officers that were on both sides were worried about
this and said that it must not happen again. Because for they them
 selves were worried that if the men got too friendly they would
no longer want to go on killing eachother.

4. Read the section “enemy atrocities reported…” What emotions would

these stories produce in their readers? (p.33 in the scrapbook, p.35 in
the pdf)

I think these kinds of stories would produce sad emotions in their

readers because they would see how much people suffered during the
war and how much they were tortured and killed like those two girls
who were shot while they were in their mothers arms. Stories like these
would cause anger and sadness in the readers them self.

5. Examine the poster “daddy what did you do in the great war”.
What do you think this “daddy” did in the war?

Who is this poster aimed at? (p.33 in the scrapbook, p.35 in the pdf)

I think this poster was aimed at mostly dads who contributed to the
war. And I think their were a lot of them who did.

6. List 3 ways Canadians contributed to the war effort at home (p34-35 in

the scrapbook, p. 36 - 37 in the pdf)
1.Reducing food consumption
2.By recruiting children to work for the war effefort
3.Producing more food

7. According to the food controller in 1917, what 4 things were to be

produced, consumed and never wasted? Why? (p34-35 in the
scrapbook, p. 36-37 in the pdf)
1.wheat
2.flour
3.bacon
4.beef
I think these are were the 4 things that should never be wasted because they are very much
needed for everyone and I guess they are hard to produce.
