Dear Readers,
I would like you tell you that, ” Little Angle, ” will be temporarily postponed. I made a writer’s mistake in starting TOO many projects at once. If you will bear with me, I’ll try to get back on the saddle and start writing projects with a slow, “Whoa!” And, “Soldier’s Prayer, ” will have a new chapter soon! I’m having trouble knowing how fast a train went in World War 1. As well as the ports, for the soldiers’ ships into Europe. If their are any . . . which I’m sure there are historians on here, would be so helpful as to help me with these important story facts? Please comment.
I apologize, sincerely. I made mistakes that I regret.
Note to myself: Work on two projects at a time!
Again sorry,
Gen1900

According to The Life and Times of a World War I Soldier: The Julius Holthaus Story
by Clyde Cremer, the average speed for a “troop train” was 25 MPH. If carrying heavy military equipment, it went about 20 MPH. This train appears to be in Oregon, so perhaps the trains in Europe were not much different (if that is where you are heading with this question).
There were lots of ports for ships coming into Europe. Pretty much any country that has its border on the Atlantic will have a good number of ports. Major trading routes might require some more research. Of course, if you look at WWII, a beach in France served as a surprise port for an invasion. When you do a search for these names, decide which country you want the ship to dock, that will help narrow things down.
No worries about taking on too many projects at once. We all get overwhelmed sometimes, so it is good that you’ve made a decision on which project to put on the back burner for now. It’s also good that you are continuing to write instead of just giving up!
Cheers!
