I was watching a WWI doBanana Milkshakeentary the other day and was stunned to hear about the Spanish Flu pandemic which wiped out a lot of the soldiers that survived the actual fighting in 1918, as well as killing millions of people around the world.

Don't suppose you subscribe to the National Geographic Roddy? This month it's got a decent article on the Civil War with a large map included in it.
