I watched Journey's End on Netflix the other evening. For those of you who have not seen it, one review summarises: Led by young officer Stanhope, whose mental health is rapidly disintegrating, a group of British soldiers await their fate in an Aisne dugout during the end of World War I. It is grueling but worthwhile if the aim is, as was mine, to experience in some small way what atrocities people had to endure to guarantee the freedom we now enjoy. And, besides, it stars Asa Butterfield whose performance I so appreciated in Hugo.
Lest we forget.
