#OTD in 1862 one of the most bizarre episodes in American military history played out in the lobby of the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. During a heated argument between generals Jefferson C. Davis and William Nelson, Davis obtained a pistol and mortally wounded Nelson.

A US Regular who fought at Wilson’s Creek wrote afterwards, “The splendid motions we had been taught at drill and parade in anticipation of this bloody day were not practiced here. Each man assumed a position to his liking—most of them on their knees and leaning well forward.”

Captain Americus V. Rieff, whose Arkansans stood in the way of the charge made by Co. C, 1st US Cavalry, at Dug Springs, MO, #OTD in 1861, called the Regulars’ reckless attack “the most gallant act I saw during the war.” One astonished Missourian asked his captors, “are your cavalry men or devils?”

World War I As It Happened (1914) @warhappened.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Germany has sent new ultimatums to Russia and France: the former must cease the mobilisation of its armies within 12 hours; the latter must make clear what stance it would take if war broke out between Russia and Germany. Failure to respond will lead to German mobilisation.

If a war broke out, would you be willing to fight for your country? Europeans' answers vary. As modern warfare extends beyond the traditional battlefield, Nad’a Kovalčíková argues Europe must invest far more in whole-of-society preparedness. ➡️ shorturl.at/b19GB

Eine Schwarz-Weiß-Comic-Zeichnung im Weltall. Ein raketenartiges Raumschiff fliegt im Vordergrund von rechts nach links. Im Cockpit des Raumschiffs sitzen drei Cartoon-Dinosaurier (darunter ein T-Rex und ein Langhals-Dinosaurier), die durch die Fenster schauen. Im Hintergrund ist die Erde als kleine Kugel zu sehen. Rechts unten steht die Signatur „STAR JELLY“. Unter der Zeichnung befindet sich der englische Text in Großbuchstaben: „"FINALLY, WE'RE HOME! HOPE THE MONKEYS DIDN'T TOUCH ANYTHING."“ (Auf Deutsch: „Endlich sind wir zu Hause! Hoffentlich haben die Affen nichts angefasst.“).
