Lunedi Lunacy
In Oh What a Lovely War director Richard Attenborough captured the lunacy that was the 1914-1918 War. The bumbling ineptitude of men like Douglas Haig, John French and William Robertson in sending men to certain death using outdated methods of engagement for minimal gains is brought home in subtle and sometimes not so subtle ways. The Aussie allies in this little clip are not impressed with their Allied Commanders.

I remember that storm; it was quite a hurly-burly. I remember it blew down and destroyed a birdhouse I had only just finished making.
