What makes the First war sad for me is that, more than in most wars, the honest patriotism of the ordinary soldier in The Great War was squandered away through a series of disastrous decisions, as at the infamous battle of the Somme : 40,000 allied casualties in one day, partly because soldiers were told,incorrectly,that the enemy`s barbed wire had been shot away.
