It's ironic and kind of sad how much that was learned during the American Civil War (and to a much lesser extent the Boer Wars) was ignored when WWI began. By the end of the ACV, both sides were routinely entrenching on a WWI scale. Stargoat 18:46, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I don't think it's his - it says M. Bloch. Valleyofdawn ( talk) 08:01, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Did Bloch write a work with that title? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 00:46, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
I support the redirect (just), inasmuchas it attempts to bring together the various monickers Bloch was known by across Europe into one central article, and is therefore encyclopaedic in spirit. Apart from Ivan, he was definitely also listed in history books as Ivan, Johannes, Jean de, Jan, and a number of other 'localizations' of his given name. I guess this was common practice in his time, when 'foreign-sounding' names might be seen as an obstacle to having one's work accepted in, eg, France or England. But I don't claim to be an expert on the protocol for Biography hereabouts ... anyone else confirm the best practice? Adhib ( talk) 18:55, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
