RE: The Great War Centenary: The Last Post
Thank you for putting together this lesson on that awful war. My grandfather was in France and never talked about it. I can't imagine the horrors he saw as a teenager.
Yes, it is unimaginable. If you ever get the chance, see Peter Jackson's film They Shall Not Grow Old. It's very enlightening to hear the actual views of the soldiers brought back to life.
I didn't realize it had been released. I remember seeing a clip of one of the lip readers talking about how she had translated what was being said in some of the old clips and I knew it was something that I wanted to remember to see. Thanks for the reminder.
We saw it on Sunday. There were only two screenings. I'm not sure when/if it will be on again, but it's probably available on streaming/TV.
I looked and didn't find it on Amazon or Netflix, but it will be there evenrually, I'm sure!
