[Boggy]

[B]Very[/B] sobering stuff.

We just don't realise how good we have it these days.

Very interesting. I have visited most of the places shown in that footage as I have a historical interest in WW1 and just find it staggering to realise how its changed.

Even visiting these towns, memorials and cemetarys can do nothing to make one realise how it must have been for those people and how lucky we are today. Moving stuff.

20,000 men per foot died in the battle of the somme.
