My grandfather was in that war. He fought at Vimy Ridge. No way it's forgotten here. One of, if not the, bloodiest most brutal war in human history, that. Trench warfare. Gas and chemical weapons. Bayonettes. Biplanes. Blimps. This one had it all.
It may be getting percieved as 'forgotten' now because there are no more veterans of that war alive. Well, that and the fact that WWII happened in a time 20 years later when the movie industry was more advanced and thus a ton more movies got made about that war than the 1st one. After the last WWII vets die off that's really all our kids will have is movies, documentaries, what if anything they're taught about it in school, and what we can pass on to them.
