I dont know if anyone saw this in the papers lately but what a remarkable find this was! A company in France surveying for a new road came across a German trench which has been preserved like a time capsule

ahhh baddys then? still feel sorry for them, soldiers in the war were just normal men doing what they were told by a greater evil... i wonder how many agreed with what they were doing?

I did a bit more reading into this kind of thing. Apparently the Dutch farmers still have to take great care when ploughing their fields as they regularly uncover unexploded shells and grenades etc from the first world war. Apparently the Belgian army has built a processing plant especially for these bombs. 200 tonnes a year are discovered

Very much so. The soldiers, whilst trying to kill each other still had respect for one another. They were just doing thier job

I was of course joking. But as much as you can feel sorry for them. Remember they weren't all innocent daisy picking Samaritans.
