If you have access to BBC i-Player, then this program is well worth watching. It is part 6 and even though you might not have see the previous programs, this really gives us all a feeling of what it must have been like in a small village and to loose so many young men. The program tell you a little of what it must have been like to have a son " Shot at dawn " and there fight to have his name honored on the village memorial with all the other Pals from the village. I found it very moving and as for some who has really no idea what war must be like or has lost some recent family member to war, it opened my eyes.
