Remember
(For Remembrance)
Interspersed with narration, we follow 3 young men through the first world war ~ call-up, training, life in trenches, writing home and, eventually, failure to return. Through poetry and dialogue we get a picture of their lives, and the fear under which families at home lived. Pacy and never morbid, poignancy is counterbalanced with gentle humour.
