On 06-December-1917, two ships, one loaded with ammunition, collided in the harbor Halifax, Nova Scotia. The French ammunition ship caught fight, then exploded. 2000 people may have died and damage was extensive. Help poured in from all over Canada and the United States. Nova Scotia sends a Christmas tree to Boston every year to acknowledge their help. Read a contemporary newspaper account on my other blog:

Newsreels concerning the disaster were released before the end of December.

This report says that 4000, but that is not correct.

American soldiers training in France would soon march into battle.
