Camp American University Camp American University was the name the U . S . military used for the segment of the Washington , DC main campus of American University during World War I and World War II . During both wars , the university allowed the U . S . military to use parts of its grounds for weapons development and testing . In 1917 , 24 days after the United States declared war on Germany , the university offered its property to the war effort . The military divided the campus into two segments , Camp American University and Camp Leach . The two camps were considered at the time to be " the largest laboratory this side of the sun or other burning stars . " Thus , during World War I , Camp American University became the birthplace of the United States ' chemical weapons program . About 100 , 000 soldiers and 2 , 000 chemists were employed on the campus . At the far corner of the university , the military also tested some of its weapons . When the war had ended it was reported that $ 800 , 000 ( in 1918 - US $ ) worth of World War I munitions were buried in a pit in the same corner of the university . In 1993 , a construction worker stumbled upon some of the buried munitions . The next day it was reported in the Washington Post that World War I bomb shells had been unearthed near a Senator ' s house bordering the university grounds . This led to a major cleanup effort by the military in the 1990s and subsequently again in the 2000s ( decade ) on the site , which included a corner of the university and several neighboring residences , including the residence of the Embassy of South Korea , which occupies a significant percentage of the site . As no buildings have been built directly atop the site , the military announced that the effects of neither the residual chemicals nor the cleanup program will have any effects on students living on the campus .

Poilu Poilu ( ; ) is an informal term for a French World War I infantryman , meaning , literally , " hairy one " . The term came into popular usage in France during the era of Napoleon Bonaparte and his massive citizen armies , though the term grognard ( grumbler ) was also common . It is still widely used as a term of endearment for the French infantry of World War I . The word carries the sense of the infantryman ' s typically rustic , agricultural background . Beard s and bushy moustache s were often worn . The image of the dogged , bearded French soldier was widely used in propaganda and war memorials . The stereotype of the Poilu was of bravery and endurance , but not always of unquestioning obedience . At the disastrous Chemin des Dames offensive of 1917 under General Robert Nivelle , they were said to have gone into no man ' s land making baa ' ing noises — a collective bit of gallows humor signaling the idea that they were being sent as lambs to the slaughter . Outstanding for its mixture of horror and heroism , this spectacle proved a sobering one . As the news of it spread , the French high command soon found itself coping with a widespread mutiny . A minor revolution was averted only with the promise of an end to the costly offensive . The last surviving poilu from World War I was Pierre Picault . However , French authorities recognised Lazare Ponticelli as the last poilu , as he was the last veteran whose service met the strict official criteria . Lazare Ponticelli died in Le Kremlin - Bicêtre on 12 March 2008 , aged 110 .

Following the war , he returned to Lexington , Kentucky where he resumed the practice of law , taught jurisprudence at the University of Kentucky , and was ultimately elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1885 . He held that position through five Congresses ( the 49th Congress through the 53rd Congress ) . A Breach of Promise suit filed by a former mistress in 1894 may have ruined his political career . At the November 1901 Convention of the State Federation of Labor in Lexington , Breckinridge delivered an eloquent speech in which he extolled the virtues of a six day work week , opposed violent strikes , and encouraged negotiations . The following day , the vice president of the group , James D . Wood , took over the convention and helped pass resolutions which called Breckinridge an " enemy of the trade and labor organizations of the state . " The controversy which followed split the federation ' s membership . Breckinridge , a member of the Breckinridge political family , died November 18 , 1904 , and is interred in Lexington Cemetery .

An Acadian and Mi ' kmaq militia defeated a detachment of British soldiers at Bloody Creek , which empties into the Annapolis River at present day Carleton Corner , Nova Scotia . The battle occurred at the same site as a battle in 1711 during Queen Anne ' s War . Prelude . Following the French defeat at the Battle of Fort Beauséjour and the start of the Great Expulsion in 1755 , many Acadians formed guerrilla bands in the forests , often linking up with their ancient Mi ' kmaq allies . These bands operated throughout Nova Scotia until the fall of New France , the most famous guerrilla being Joseph Broussard , also known as Beausoleil . Despite controlling many strongpoints like Halifax , Annapolis Royal and Fort Beausejour , the British were unable to completely pacify the region . On December 6 , a work party from the 43rd Foot , which garrisoned Annapolis Royal , was cutting firewood near the site of the first battle in 1711 when they were ambushed by an Acadian and Mi ' kmaq force . One man was killed and another seven were taken captive . In response , a detachment of 130 men under Captain Peter Pigou was dispatched to recover the prisoners . Battle . Led by Acadian William Johnson ( Guillaume Jeanson ) , a group of Mi ' kmaq and Acadians attacked the British force . Marching on foot along the south shore of the Annapolis River , the British force was exposed to wet and cold before giving up their search for the prisoners . They were crossing a bridge on the René Forêt River on the morning of December 8 when the Mi ' kmaq and Acadians attacked . The British made a brief stand and suffered a high number of casualties , including Captain Pigou , before retreating back to Annapolis Royal . Aftermath . Despite their victory , the Mi ' kmaq and Acadian guerrillas did not follow it up by attacking Annapolis Royal . There were however many similar bands that continued to harass and ambush British forces in Nova Scotia and assist French regular forces through the end of the war . The René Forêt River was renamed Bloody Creek in honour of the battle . The location of the battle is now a National Historic Site of Canada .
