Battle of the somme anniversary
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-36674451
100th anniversary tomorrow. It is amazing to me, when i look at the western front at the beginning and end of the war, how little it moved in all that time. So many lives lost, in a battle for empire. Every country that had a monarchy at the start lost it by wars' end, except britain. And of course the end of the ottoman empire, and borders haphazardly drawn to replace it.
