The German and Austro Hungarian armies retreated from the Vistula after losing over 60,000 men.
Greece, with permission of the Allies, occupied Northern Epirus in Albania, which upset Italy, which sent Marines to the Albanian port of Vlorë.
The HMS Audacious sank off of Rory Ireland. Mines brought her down.
Welsh Poet Dylan Thomas worn born. He's most famous for the following poem:
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
He died himself at a mere 39 years of age, at age at which raging against the dying light probably seems like more of an imperative than later.
