Bit late with this. Every afternoon this week, Channel 4, 2.20pm there is a programme of men who survived WWI talking about their experiences, film shots of battles too.

I only caught the last 10 minutes or so, I don't usually watch TV until the News at 6pm, but was scanning the TV programme to see if anything worth watching tonight and noticed it.

this programme was first shown last year before Remembrance Sunday (i think)
sadly when first shown/filmed about 4-5 of the survivors were still alive, now all gone 
worth a 2nd or even 3rd look

If you missed any, S4C (Channel 4 Wales) are showing them next week, I think, mornings; outside Wales you should find it on Sky, I believe.

second thoughts, they may only be on analogue.

Unless you can receive S4C's analogue broadcasts next week it looks as if this is all you'll get.
But . . . :)as the series has had several showings already it's very likely to come round again. Sometime . . .

There is a book called Forgotten Voices of World War One. It's one of a series that also covers WWII.
Having read some of the narratives about the verbal abuse some of thoses soldiers received back home in Britain, it makes me realise that the verbal abuse some of our injured soldiers have been getting today, especially the insults said to the soldier who lost his legs and an arm in Afghanistan, people who haven't been in battle can still be hurtful.
