Terebus. I have already given my view of 'historians' who treat first hand accounts that contradict their views as unreliable.

My first question has not been answered.

Let's change the questions to put us back on topic. When "Oh! What a Lovely War!" came out there were till many people around who took part in that war - what did they think about OWALW ?

Not an academic argument between historians for its authors - they could be challenged, or supported, by participants.
