War Horse

We’ve just watched “War Horse” and despite knowing the story, it was a roller coaster of genuine emotion.  Some of the images, particularly those of fighting from the trenches during the shelling, were incredibly powerful and moving.  Mr Glis’s Grandfather fought at the Somme and was one of the lucky ones who survived. His brother, sadly, was one of the thousands who died. What was clear from this film was that there was nothing glorious about this war (and countless others) and a generation of young men was needlessly wasted. And yet we still haven’t learned to love one another
