Steven Spielberg's "War Horse"

Saw this fantastic movie a few days ago....and I cried my eyes out, especially during the scenes at the Somme.  I could hardly believe that any men survived that horror!

Matthew, my Great-Grandfather was somewhere admist all that chaos and I think knowing that made the scenes in the Somme that much harder to take.  I have always been fascinated with war history, but now that I have found out more about my families war history, the stories are becoming more personal and emotional.

I hope to travel to the Somme and Bullecourt (where my Great-Grandfather was captured by the Germans) in 2015 for the 100 year anniversary of ANZAC Day.  I more I find out, the more I have to go....
