The First World War – Myth and Reality

I’m reading ‘Mud, Blood and Poppycock’ by Gordon Corrigan at the moment (although unintentionally as it was a gift) and have found many of my ideas about the First World War to be completely wrong.

There is also this interesting piece from the BBC website:

So, as it is one hundred years since the start of the First World War, how about a bit of gentle revisionism?
