"The victor is the one who can believe for just a quarter of an hour longer than the enemy that he is not beaten." - Clemenceau <br><br>That's a pretty cool quote actually.

I had a great uncle who died just a few years back, who was Canada's last living WWI vet. They must all be dead now as he was way over 100.

France suffers 27,000 killed in one day - August 22, 1914. That is absolutely mind boggling. I think that was at Rossignol.

Both my grandfathers were regulars pre 1914, they came through the war, one with gas affected lungs that killed him in 1926, the other with bullet and bayonet wounds, and shell shock, violence and drink persona, that scared the family others..

As usual an excellent talks. Another poem to consider: "I gave my life for freedom. This I know - For those who bade me fight have told me so." (Five Souls, look it up)
