I like Hugh Dennis but this programme didn't tell me anything new - WW1 was horrible and its effects stayed with people for a lifetime.
I did perk up when they mentioned Poperinghe as my maternal grandfather was near there in WW1, with the Royal Engineers. He had a miserable war although he was lucky not to be physically injured. My paternal grandfather was too old to be actively engaged, though he was in a training camp at Chilham, Kent, with the Royal Artillery when my Dad was born in 1917.
