My Grandfather served in WW1. No idea what regiment, rank or even where. I suppose that puts me with the vast majority. Could I look it up? Maybe I could but would I be any the wiser? I doubt it. He died fifteen years before I was born. He was the subject of stories that were funny till my Dad's generation came back from the second war apparently. All of a sudden, his deafness, shakes and inability to sleep had an explanation.

What point is Teribus making? Is his stance so utterly without foundation that he spends his sad life looking up irrelevancies in order to question the main points?

You don't need War Office bollocks, Google Maps are all you need to see the extent of the war graves. Tell me again it was well planned, tell me again the poor cunts were well led. Tell the poor cunts they knew what they were doing and it was a good idea.

Pathetic stupidity from someone with no sense of shame. "War by definition is an acceptance of failure". Kitchener said that about the politicians. A bit of lucid insight amongst his failings.
