WWI
Given the anniversary of Vimy Ridge and Canada's role in one of the most important victories of an ugly world war it is only fitting that a tribute to the battered heros of that war be aired for the world to see. The Military Channel, broadcast on U.S. satellite providers, put together an excellent 6part documentary, in colour I must add, compiled from researching world wide archives for never before seen film footage of a profoundly historic event in human history. This was a war where "over the top boys" meant prepare to die. The interviews with the remaining soldiers some born in 1898 was entriguing and humbling.
Enough cannot be said about the forgotten hereos of the First World War...The First "Great War" for anything I could say would be inadequate...anything not said would be criminal disrespect therefore I say to the soldiers and their families as well as the collateral population that suffered from war itself...I salute you...and God Speed.
