World War One

I've just finished watching the '1915 Spring Offensive' episode of the BBC's The Great War series. If you haven't seen this show yet I strongly recommend it. This episode has some great movie footage as well as photographs of heavy trucks pulling heavy cannons through the mud, soldiers from both sides enlarging trenches, even motion pictures of Russian soldiers being fed by the Germans after surrendering. Also there are several old British soldiers describing the first gas attacks. It's a real eye-opener.
