Dude, this is America. If it doesn't involve Americans doing something amazing, we're lucky if we hear about it at all.

What do you expect? You're run by Big Brother.

those WWI trenches - Zank,

dirty, damp, cramped, too cold or hot, occassionally frightening but mostly mind numbingly boring and depressing according to my great great aunt (she lived to be a very coherant 97) who was a nurse at the front stationed in Toul -and elsewhere- France 1917 and 1918 and listened to the soldiers talk

poor lads, they did not have

I've got a story for you.

I was on holiday in France, the Beautiful Dordogne near Riberac. We were staying at a colleague's holiday home 'La Basse Ecurie' (The lower stable). The place was really old and it was part of a tiny little hamlet that had been deserted since the 1960s. Although the main house had all mod cons, the out buildings hadn't been touched since the original inhabitants had left. There was a large barn with a manger and a complete set of farming tools and machinery and next to that a very small barn. I went into the small barn and there were old shoes and stuff scattered about on the floor. As I nosed about I began to find old letters. I can read French reasonably well (although I've got rusty since then) and the letters turned out to be from a French soldier at the front in World War One. They were heart rending because they were written to the soldiers wife who must have been struggling to keep the farm going. There were a number of letters which are now gathered safely together in a box in the house. Sadly the soldier shared the fate of many of his comrades and his name is on the tiny war memorial in the nearby village of Festalemps.
