Yesterday, Sunday August 2, the first military action on the Western Front occurred as a skirmish at Joncherey in northeastern France near the border. History tells us that a small German cavalry, known then as uhlans, illegally crossed the border and clashed with the local French militia. But as you’ll soon hear, reports of the day aren’t very clear on who crossed who’s border. This podcast has been brought to you by Watershed Z Productions.

Today is August 1st, 1914, just four days ago Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Today Germany and Russia declared war against each other, France ordered a general mobilization, and the first German army units will cross into Luxembourg in preparation for the German invasion of France. During the next three days, Russia, France, Belgium, and Great Britain will all line up against Austria-Hungary and Germany, and the German army will invade Belgium. The “Great War” that ensues will be one of previously unprecedented devastation and death. But right now, many of the people of Europe are kind of greeting the coming war with delight. Most patriotically, they all assume that their country will be victorious within months. Of the initial combatants, Germany is most prepared for the outbreak of hostilities, and its military leaders have already organized a serious military strategy known as the “Schlieffen Plan,” with which they expect the defeat of France through a massive arcing offensive through Belgium and into northern France. Russia, a touch slow to mobilize, is to be kept busy by Austro-Hungarian forces while Germany attacks France. But we all know that even the best laid plans rarely make it to face the enemy… No one really knows how ugly this war is going to get…. And things aren’t looking very good for Mrs. Hall at the moment either… PLEASE NOTE - Falling Through the Archives is taking a small break - Look for Episode 7 on August 12, 2022.

Today we find John returning to the shop with a copy of The Alexandria Gazette. The date is July 31, 1914, and they are in a place called Alexandria, Virginia There isn’t a single day that’s the same ole same ole in the world. Everything is changing, just take a look at Bessie Wakefield, a 24-year-old mother of two children, who would become the first woman convicted of first-degree murder in Connecticut, for the death of her husband, William Wakefield. Whose body was discovered in the woods near Cheshire, Connecticut, on June 28, 1913. William had been shot and stabbed multiple times and strangled with a pair of shoelaces. Within a few days, Bessie and local farmhand James Plew were arrested for the crime. They tried to make the murder look like a suicide and failed miserably. The state’s case against them claimed that Plew had killed William, and that Bessie had conspired with Plew, even encouraged him to kill her husband, all so the two of them could be together. That made her an accessory to the crime. Plew pled guilty, but Bessie Wakefield denied any involvement in or knowledge of the murder of her husband. Nevertheless, despite her denials, Wakefield was found guilty and sentenced to hang. Later on, the suffragette movement will take on the fight to free Poor Old Bessie. But that’s a story for another time. There’s a World War starting… This podcast has been brought to you by Watershed Z Productions.
