Thank you Brian for your time dedicated to WWI, remembering us appropriately this overwhelming period for ourascendants (my grand father was prisoner for a while, in additions to his wounds on the Eastern battlefields of France).
I hope this 100th anniversary shall be a new commitment from all our European nations to a "Never again" for our children. The sacrifice of our parents gave us the privilege of not having a war on our grounds during or own life, unique in the History since 2300 years, I believe ....
However as far as painting, my interest in the History extends from 3000 C to 1750 AD, and I will express it for BFFS differently.
