Oh God, you had me blurring up at the title! I told you before about my Grandad, who was wounded in WWI and had the Military Medal and that was his favourite song.
I have always found this war particularly distressing and poignant and the last couple of minutes of Blackadder Goes Forth break my heart every time. We studied the First World war poets at school also. I haven't seen the movie, mainly because of the way I feel about the War, but I am along for the ride too. This is a sad, but promising beginning, beautifully written as always and I am looking forward to reading more.
