    How awful to spend 3 long years in those tunnels/trenches. Freezing in the winter, sweating terribly in the summer. With all that water around, the mosquitoes would have been wall to wall. Those men were so physically and mentally strong to have endured this. I know that many on both sides didn't ever see home again and their families didn't even have remains to bury in a lot of cases. My uncle fought in France and he never spoke of any of it. In his house, he had a large shell casing that he brought home. I was just a youngster back then and didn't ever ask about it. We cannot forget them...ever!! ❤🤍💙 Thank you for telling their story, Chris!!

    Not to forget that the Germans used mustard gas and that there were also fraternizations and truces and that Germans celebrated Christmas together with the French/English or played a football match. That's why the commanders on both sides were regularly exchanged to keep morale high. There are books and films about it, one movie is called “Merry Christmas” from 2005.

    Would love to see you do a video series on the various locations for the first battle of Manassas in VA, especially the Old Stone House along Lee Hwy. Theres still the names of wounded soldiers carved into the floorboards and baseboards in some of the upstairs rooms from that battle, as it was used as a field hospital. I grew up in that area so would love to see you cover it if you haven't already done so! :)

    Trenches were zig-zagged/zippered so if an enemy got into the trench, they could not straight fire down a long straight line. Also if a shell, grenade, bomb, etc hit inside the trench, the shrapnel would be limited on travel distance.

    Do the story of the missing 72 year old Annie Laurie Hearin. Her husband was the wealthiest man in the state. It happened in the 1980s. She was abducted from her own home. It may have been an inside job being only her close people new when and where she would be in the house.

    I'm thinking it had to happen in Belgium too but the trenches in France added the decking cause they were losing so many soldiers to trench foot. You walk around in mud for a year or two you're gonna catch something,
