Major Battles

1. Gallipoli:  Heat and thirst
2. Verdun:  Symbol of suffering
3. The Somme:  Hell on earth
   1. Paths of Glory (Not The Somme -but reminds me of what I've read about the Somme and the English General Haig) is a great movie directed by Stanley Kubrick that shows the folly of World War I battles.  It's loosely based on actual incidents in WWI.  I'm not a war movie buff, but it's really a great film that I have shown to students over the years, and they have all found fascinating.  Fun fact:  the woman in the final scene is the the director's future wife.
4. Passchendaele: Drowning in mud
