Wayne: Interesting that you mention the Eastern Shore. My family's American roots are thereabouts, complete with Tilghman Island (a British base during the War for Independence, BTW). Saw the same PBS special; a real revelation.
As far as Great War content, I wonder how the French ever tolerated doughboys' mutilation of their language. I'm old enough to recall the annual 11 November parades with replica 40 & 8 rail cars and old-timers in khaki and puttees discoursing upon the joys of "chavose and homes" for hosses & men, to say nothing of "ving blank" wine.
Actually, I don't suppose the French tolerated it well at all!
