So close to the end of war – hopefully many in that photo returned home, safely.
WWI was a frightening, fascinating and futile war that everyone should take time to read and learn from. Maybe then, just maybe, that “ war to end all wars” could finally stop conflict.
My Grandpa is from North Staffs. Absolutely brutal war, injuries and losses for people there. WWI is the reason why we no longer together in the communities they lived in.

A horrible war. I hope they survived.
to quote Blackadder and its view of the tragedy of the war:
“General: a fine body of men you have here.
Captain: soon to become fine BODIES of men”
