I learned a lot and my granddad was happy to see me learn a bit of our history. The exhibition really opened our eyes. Thanks again! My grandfather and I really enjoyed the exhibition.

The French Official History would also cover it. Otherwise, I suggest visiting the German and French Wikipedias; they'd probably refer you on to other resources in those languages.

I have enjoyed this blog immensely and have learned a great deal from it. The care and dedication in presenting what was, in reality, a terribly tragic period of our history has been inspiring to me personally. During my, usually lunchtime, visits to the blog over the last several weeks I have been absolutely awed and at times deeply saddened by the story of '1917', and the work that has gone into keeping the memory of the sacrifices made during that time alive for the collective benefit. Thanks also to those members of the public who have shared their stories with us. I am extremely impressed that so many people have kept their family contributions alive and have shared some of it here for our collective memory. This has been a wonderful project and I wish Craig and AWM all the very best. I look forward to seeing more projects like this. This is first rate history presented beautifully. Thank you, Steve <strong>Editor's comment:</strong> Steve, thank you so much for your kind remarks. I am thrilled that you found the content we presented here so interesting and inspiring. The visitation statistics for the blog were very strong, so I hope that many more were similarly inspired to remember the sacrifices of 1917. Cheers, Craig. Craig,
