Are you near oradour?
I couldnt even begin to imagine what people went through in the war.
My grandad was in the first war…like many he lied about his age….after a year his mother had him sent home.
I still have the picture of him in his uniform.
We are about 90 minutes from there and I hope to find time to go there soon
I think a lot of people lied about their age – my father in law included who signed up aged 15 to fight in the Indian sub-continent during WW2
There were boys of 15 and 16 going over the top at the somme.
I remember seeing oradour on the world at war in the very first episode.
Would be interesting to visit.
Interesting but also a testament to the sadness of war
Yes definitely..
Im off to bed now..don’t forget the documentary if you get a chance…catch up again sometime.
Thanks – I will look
I looked and could not stop looking – I had also forgotten what a powerful narrator Leo Mckern was
Thank you A certain for the quote and the documentary
“I prefer to think that God is not dead…
just drunk”
John Huston
