Dave, I don't know if you're doing it intentionally as a tactic, but it should be obvious to everyone who has been following this discussion what point Teribus was making....and it was a valid one.

Those who volunteered in 1914(including my grandfather) were neither stupid, naïve or gullible.
My grandfather was a very intelligent man, who after the war retained a great respect for Douglas Haig.

I don't contribute much here as I do not have the historical knowledge required....perhaps some of Mt T and Keiths opponents would do well to follow my example.
