My great grandfather was with the Newfoundland Regiment at Gallipoli, and was one of the few to survive the massacre at Beaumont-Hamel. They were just sent into “no man’s land,” and the Germans would leave them alone until they were within range, and then just shred them with machine guns. It’s no wonder Britain and France wanted to do away with war, forever. It’s a shame that the way they chose to go about it left them defenseless if any other country disagreed with their “enlightened” outlook.
