The Boxer Rebellion

The year was Nineteen-Hundred 'Tis worth remembering The men who lived through Fifty-five days at Peking

This is a cross-over episode, a unique partnership of a handful of nations that would fight a world war against each other in less than two decades. There is also a really nice Jazz remix of the 55 days at Peking song I really enjoyed.

The pictures somehow removed the descriptions of the soldiers, if any of you want to know the unit just ask and I can look them up in the source.

Feeling tired & unmotivated to do school assignments.

Going to read Dracula, since it seems like a fairly easy read compared to war & peace (my current read)
