WWI COMMEMORATION: Five DVD Gift Tin

Says what it is quite literally on the tin, tin-hatted soldiers of the First World War in the trenches look to the camera, a poppy in bright red decoration alongside the title of this large almost 12" diameter by 1½" deep coloured embossed tin. It contains five DVDs, total playing time four hours, with each film running to just around 48 minutes each. Each uses World War One archive footage, some very loud sound effects (no subtitles) and is a poignant and visual reminder of the 'War to end all wars', the Great War which ushered in the 20th century. People of all classes saw it as some great cleansing fire that would accelerate this battle and lead to a better world, but when it was all over, men died in the mud and the naïve dreams of progress along with the innocence of the pre-World War, faith in god and hope in the future all died in the trenches of Europe with them.
