Customer Reviews

The battle of the Somme5
A remarkable rendering of one off the greatest battles of WWI. About 60.000 men died (on the first day) to no avail, it clearly shows the insanity of war.A very informative DVD.

A SLICE OF HISTORY5
Bought as a gift, recipient loved it. should be part of the school curriculum on history, so that youngsters know how we got where we are now! and the deprivations of very young men, who gave their lives for this country and others. Woulod focus minds who complain about what they do not have.
