[Carole Bos]

Significant world events are remembered during the month of August:  Vesuvius erupted, burying Pompeii and Herculaneum; the Polish Army rebelled against Hitler's occupation of Warsaw; the deadliest battle of World War II (for Stalingrad) began; atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki; and Jack Broughton (a Brit) devised boxing rules (in 1743) for the sport.  Learn the details of those, and other events, in this summary of August Highlights.
