I have a excellent series on DVD about WWI, called "The Great War", which was originally broadcast in the 70's on the BBC. Of all the episodes, the worst has to be the one on the British dug in around Ypres/Passchendale where there were no trenches to speak of, but a landscape of shell holes filled with water/corpses/etc.
On friday I will paying my respects at my towns war memorial -we shall never forget.
