Armistice Day
, lovely lady that she is has done an Armistice Day piece that features one of mine. You can go here [link] to see a happy 11-11-18 homecoming. Thank you, J, it's too gorgeous!I will be traveling to NY to see her later today, and we are planning an Armistice Day party, complete with french cheese, and ANZAC biscuts. On the movie night list:
- Flyboys
- All Quiet
- Passchendaele
- (searching for, but so far unsuccessful in finding...) Regeneration
- (also unsuccessful at finding) The Lost Battalion
Hope everyone else has a valuable Armistice Day, and peace be with us all.

Did you ever read Regeneration by Pat Barker, by chance?

Really people, it's not that hard.
And, to answer your question, while I have not read Regeneration I have heard of it and I have recently d/led the movie of it. Also, I'm very familiar with most of the poets, so I am hoping the movie does them justice. I'm quite the fan of Sassoon's work.
I take it that you have read it?

The book more plays with the psychological state of war-veterans/injured. I'm a psyche major in college so it's very interesting. On top of that the characters are historically accurate (I think?). It's a well written book, you might like it. Short too, only 100+ pages or so if I remember correctly.

The reason I mentioned Sassoon is, due to him being one of the main focii of Rivers' investigations, I figured you might be interested in him. His poetry is outstanding, but also, the diaries he kept during the war are truly horrifying and simultaneously fascinating. Reading them is an excellent view into the mind of an extreme shell shock victim. I don't know if that's precisely what you're interested in psych or not, but there it is, in case it piques you.
