My grandfather was in the trenches, and at Ypres - he lied about his age to join up, because he was really too young. Having known him for almost 30 years, I feel it gave me quite a connection to the war, a sense of its reality. Its hard to communicate that to younger generations. (btw, did you see A very long engagement? Very poigant, moving, warm - and harrowing insights into the war - al juxtaposed. Its excellent, i thought).lettucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872380339261609060noreply@blogger.com
