Fuckin Britlanders always invading attacking and murdering somebody to harvest their resources? Now their yankee cousins are at it . Must be genetic!

@charliebarosio . I can imagine your taking any opportunity to slam the USA seeing as they called your "royal family" and their LGT Bank (which they are on the board of directors) "conspirators and defrauders" who "aid and abet tax dodgers, and those who elect to defy court orders", etc. It's easy to see where you thieves get it from, it must be genetic as well. I am sure we will drop by and pay you a visit on the next "world tour".

The utter pity of it all and we still 'trek from progress'

What a great film - I can imagine sitting there with them. If only I had a time machine ....

Unable to reply with anything other than sweeping generalities, you resort to the standard modern tactic of personal insult.

Again I ask the question what verifiable sources do you have to back up the generalisation you made which is now appears based on your interpenetration of you have chosen to read!

As that the last survivor of WWI recently died, I fail to see how you thought my question alluded to you being in WWI. However you may have had personal experience of WWI veterans as I have?

Wonderful footage, but remember these clips were intended to be information films, if it were unbiased reportage there would also be footage of the thousands of men that lived as cripples in poverty without assistance after their wounds rendered them useless during the war. There may also have been footage of the lists of all the men shot for going mad, attempting to escape, and for not fighting, had the people making these films found freedom of information was desirable or worth aspiring to.

[Sabadgeman]

And the verifiable source for the sweeping statement is......

My grandfather was crippled as a result of this war but even though he lived in the Nelson street slums of Barnsley both before and after neither he nor his neighbours lived in the manner you describe or is this a case of what you heard not what you experienced?

[teamcrumb]

clearly I was not in the first world war because I am thirty three. Go read some history books. Just cos your grandaddy had it a certain way, does not mean many men were effectively ignored and left to rot by king and country after the war. Sweeping statement, you ignorant fool.

[mikemosocw]

clearly your grandfather was a mug to join up so he got what he deserved!

like the rest of the docile imbeciles who joined!

war criminals, the lot of um!
