Subject: RE: History and mythology of WW1
Thanks, Lighter. Sensible reply. I do not have enough knowledge to comment on whether it is right or wrong so am more than happy to accept your view. What I would say though was that whether it was 'strained optimism' or propaganda it still resulted in many people volunteering on the false impression that they would not be there long.
