Thank you for sharing, paola! It is very interesting. I have a personal goal to dedicate time this year to reading more about World War I.

Thanks, looks right up my alley.

I'd guess we'll be seeing lots of WWI related books and other stuff coming out this year.

yes indeed! The great war/La grande guerra, a movie by Mario Monicelli which won the Palme d'or in Cannes in 1959 is available with subtitles on youtube here:

Thanks paola. It looks very interesting. My paternal grandfather (my dad was the youngest in his family) was in WWI. First he shipped to England and from there to France I believe. He went over on a cattle boat from what I understand.
