Old Geezer Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD. The fact that no-one has mentioned this movie , which was shown on BBC2 again this year probably means everyone has already seen it - but if anyone has yet to see it, please do. The film isn't easy to watch but everyone should see it at least once, if only to get some idea what these men went through and to understand why soldiers never really want to talk about their war experiences. You should be able to get it on the Internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Acland Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 There is a very well known photo of a group of soldiers carrying a stretcher at the battle of Passchendale. They are up to their knees in mud. The man at the front with a very dark moustache is looking directly at the camera. He was identified by one of his relatives who said that when the war finished he came home on a Saturday and on the following Monday went back to his job at the Co-Op. They don't make them like that anymore. Edited By Richard Acland on 11/11/2019 17:21:48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
