THE GREAT WAR covers the events exactly 100 years ago. From 2014-2018 the YouTube channel covered the events of World War 1 week by week. At the moment, we are covering the events in the aftermath of WW1 – which wasn't the war to end all wars as people had hoped.
This subreddit is for discussion of the Youtube series The Great War. This goes for:
- the weekly episodes released every Thursday
- Special episodes
- the Biography format WHO DID WHAT IN WW1
- the community format OUT OF THE TRENCHES

This is a fragment of a shrapnel artillery shell my dad found yesterday on mount Grappa, Italy. As far as I know, there was no fighting on the Grappa during WWII, so it's very likely that this fragment comes from WWI. it's incredible to think that it has been there for more than 100 years!
