A collection of videos of War veterans for students to understand the human perspective of war. At High school our students study the War Poets as part of English Literature. It was my hope that the videos would help the students understand the 'human aspect' of the literature study. Videos are from Youtube.

War - The other narratives
- 3. Reflect
- 4. Stefan Westmann The Great War Interviews Stefan Westmann was a Corporal with the German 29th Infantry Division while fighting for ground on the Western Front. His description of killing a French Corporal is honest and harrowing, as Stefan wonders how war turns civilised men into killers. While on an offensive near La Bassée, he witnessed something quite the opposite - British soldiers risking their lives to raise a Red Cross flag and bring the German side their dead.

- 7. Henry Williamson Henry Williamson served throughout the First World War, an experience from which he never recovered. On various levels he was in a state of breakdown for the rest of his life. The war became the fulcrum of his life’s see-saw. It dominated everything. Henry Williamson could never enjoy Christmas – rather, Christmas was a torment for him because every year he relived the 1914 Christmas Truce, when he spoke to German soldiers and discovered that their hopes and fears were the same as those of himself and his English comrades, and that German soldiers dying in agony cried out for their mothers just as did the English Tommy.
