Chris

Just bumping this thread up, in case anyone missed it.

I had so thanks for the reminder! Sky+ has been set...

Brian

I've just set the digital recording wotsit. Think I got time, duration & channel - oh, yeah, and day - right...

Chris,

thanks for the reminder, found it to be really sad but interesting.

I have visited Roland's grave several times after just 'stumbling' over it whilst taking the 'pretty route' to the Somme, having seen this programme I must now track down a copy of Vera's book.

Regards and best wishes,
Scottie.

Mised it again!!! Idiot!! Set the timer for 2000!!!

Was particularly in info re Geoffrey Thurlow, can anyone help?

TT

There was a fair bit about Geoffrey Thurlow, with quotes from his letters, and a bit of an exploration about Veras feelings about him. I thought all the actors involved were very good, as of course was Sue! I always say hello to Geoffrey when at the Arras memorial, and this year I paid my respects to his brother, killed a year and a day after him, who is remembered on the Loos memorial.

Michelle,

thanks for that info on Geoffrey's commeration on the Arras memorial, saved me a little bit of research! and the additional info on his brother.

Gave in and ordered the book as a nice Christmas pressie to my Wife!

regards,
Scottie.

Letters From A Lost Generation is also worth getting as well as Testament Of Youth- I'm sure Mrs Scottie will appreciate it!

Michelle

Michelle,

thank you very much for the tip, I will seek a copy out, oh my dear wifes christmas pressies are really stacking up! oh she will be pleased!

All joking apart, I have not really had much time for the pacifism argument in the past, but I am begininng to see it in a whole new light when you know more of their background and the tragedy and human experiences that helped them form their opinions!

Regards,
Scottie.

I have the whole BBC series of "Testament of Youth"..if any Forum Pals wish to own a copy please PM me for further details.Regards Russ.
