In the late 80's I had the honor of "watching" a family friends father who was suffering from alzhiemers.He was a colonel who was a great war vet.he couldn't understand why he couldn't be in his home or who his wife was but the mans mind could recall with detail the trenches and the men whom he fought beside and led into battle.I wish I had the forsite to write the stories he told me down.he passed away a few months latter and now 20 years latter I still think of the stories and the faceless names he would tell me about.Im my mind WW1 was the last war where people went out thinking about glory and adventure.the realitiies were that modern industialism made it into a blood bath.those men who fought on all sides have nothing but my respect,every war is unique but somthing about the great war has always captured my interest.God bless all veterans of all wars and lets hope that in the future no blood needs to be shed.
