Morale and Sensemaking on the Western Front
Whilst the trenches of the Western Front have come to symbolise the futility and hopelessness of the Great War, in this presentation Alex Mayhew demonstrates that British (particularly English) infantrymen rarely interpreted their experiences in this way.
