Parts of the battlefield are uninhabitable even today.

Listen to this every year and thank God I didn’t have to live through that.

WW1 is so fascinating. When I was younger the evil of WW2 eclipsed WW1, but as I got older and learned more about the sheer scope of WW1 it has always stood out as such a perfectly incredible and awful example of what war can be.
What the frick were they thinking? Let’s just see how much we can blow the frick out of and slaughter each other. And for what? The fact of most of the combatants rulers being blood related is just one of many bizarre footnotes.

One of these days I hope to take a trip to France so I can visit the Western Front and see where these titanic battles took place. Verdun is top of the list.

Reading that makes it easier to understand how so many men developed shell shock during WWI
My great uncle (grandmother's brother) was an ambulance driver with the British Army. He was injured and his friend/co-driver was killed when a shell exploded near them.
My great uncle took the piece of shrapnel out of his friend's chest and kept it with him for the rest of his life.
