Big things are in the works, guys. BIG THINGS!!! Tomorrow I shall be having a meeting with... Someone... in real life to discuss many things. The most exciting thing being... the new and improved WCF podcast This show will be recorded in front of a live audience with actual proper professional recording equipment and NOT via Skype. The show will include multiple different segments, sound effects and a wide range of other awesome things... and of course also the show recaps and Q&A! I want to encourage all of you to get involved in this as far as asking questions is concerned (no limit, stupid ones encouraged) and anything else you'd like to throw out there. It DOESNT have to all be fed related as we will be talking about other topics during the show, like recently released video games or movies we have recently seen. Please post as many fun, wacky, serious questions below (or pm me them) as you like! Note: We will NOT be covering past drama and will not be answering questions such as "what are your thoughts on this person (names someone who left)" as this show for fun, positive entertainment purposes ONLY

Well, to test the random annoying questions allowance, since you missed it on Facebook, how is Belgium controlling Britain? I've heard about "the politicians in Brusells" running things in the UK. It's stuff like this that interests me greatly. You guys are gonna let little Belgium, a country that owes it existence to you, strong arm you? Oh. Wait. You guys already let another country with a similar history do that...

You guys already let another country with a similar history do that... I do think a lot had to do with their arms producing abilities. For such a little country, they were very good at their guns. Also, when Germany started trying to take over the world in WWI, Belgium bought the English and the French time to at least try to mount a defense. Belgium is an interesting country. Oh, by the way; at one of the early reenactments we had this year, a guy in another unit brought a Belgian made 1853 Enfield Musket-Rifle that was actually used in the War of 1861. After reading so many written accounts on how heavy the thing was, I was expecting it to weigh a ton. It was light as a feather! Compared to what we reenactors carry, that thing was light. Amazing to see that history.

Amazing to see that history. Indeed, not to mention if Britain hadn't brokered the deal with the Netherlands in the Treaty of London (1839) then it may not exist at all. That would be a very interesting alt history, especially in how it would have affected the colonization of Africa and Germany's Schlieffen plan. Instead of just cutting through Belgium, they would have been expose to a much larger front up to East Friesland, which, based on how much trouble they had as it is, could have severely limited their offensive progress depending on how much of a fight the combined force of the Dutch/Wallonians/Flemish could put up.

You have no idea how happy I am to see someone that knows something about history. Are there any plans in your area for a WWI 100th anniversary commemorative event?

Yes, well Poles were some of the fiercest resistance the Nazi's faced... Thankfully my Great Grandpa left at the turn of the century, but a couple of Grandma'ssinlings caught in WWII. Most notably, her youngest brother changed his last name to Mitchell and was a waist gunner on either a B-24 or B-25...

You have no idea how happy I am to see someone that knows something about history. Are there any plans in your area for a WWI 100th anniversary commemorative event? Brother, the only people who care about history here are NS and a WWII reenactment group. NS had a special event marking their 30th anniversary by allowing visitors into Rose Yard to look at the Veteran's commemorating locomotive and their Office Car Special. Before that, they held a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Horseshoe Curve. The only window into military history is a local WWII reenactment group, and I forget what they're called but they do awesome stuff. They held a living history day at the nearby Revolutionary War fort, Ft. Roberdeau, an event to show the importance of the Curve during WWII, and in June they're doing a history day at the nearby short line Everett Railroad to commemorate the end of hostilities in WWII. It'll be a period day, with the newly restored steam locomotive adding to the 40's era. In general though, anyone who wasn't around for the PRR here doesn't know or care about history unfortunately. Everyone of the Penn Central generation hates the railroad (which is admittedly understandable) and therefore the history of this town, and the younger generation, like most, can't be bothered, lol.

That is sad. A lot of the younger generation can't stand history, and therefore they've missed out on some of the greatest stories. I myself am a Board Member of the Triana Historical Society, and Captain of the 35th Alabama Infantry, Co E War of 1861 reenacting group. I also occasionally play vintage base ball. I also developed a program at the Huntsville Historic Depot for a WWI Cherokee Code Talker presentation.

When I get the funds, I'm gonna find a group and reenact as my Great, Great, Great Grandfather Alaxander G Southerland, Capt, 38th Illinois Infantry... I have a pocket watch of his, and his musket, only it doesn't fire anymore...
