Powerful images.

one in 20 people lost their lives - I hadn't realised; that's appalling.

I hadn't realised they wore blue, either. Good photos, thanks.

fascinating thank you

the cine clips have to be edited post war - Lenin is there
and I cant work out what the theme was
George V at 2.00 and Lloyd George at 4.00
virtually all forged - the cine is above the parapet which would obviously be a target for snipers
ditto the soldiers running on the sky line - good clear shot but they wouldnt last long

fascinating thanks
