Here is a blog of a WWI english soldier. His letters back home are being posted 90 years to the day after they were written. I find this period to be the most intriguing of the twentieth century.

Kevin,

I have a four DVD series about WWI I got for Christmas; quite good! It's British written and produced, but they spare no expenses in talking about how poorly they did initially in the war. Want <s>a copy?</s> er, to borrow it?

O!

haha, no, he doesn't.

I'm supposed to meet up with him at some point to borrow some wheels. If you haven't got the dvd's from him by then, I can get them from him for you.

It probably hurts. I would think that just about everything hurts when you're 107.

At 107 he probably doesn't feel a thing...
