    Later generations need to see these images to see what our forefathers suffered in these dehumanised conditions and remember that after the Second World War other bloody European conflicts have been more limited and perhaps we do have our politicians to thank for this?

    The Great War (First World War), and the "battle of the trenches", very sad for all parts,particularly for those who were invaded. Tragic historical mistakes that ordinary people must suffer and endure... Like always the Aussies and the Brits are great soldiers at war !!!
