OLD NEWS OF THE GREAT WAR

I just learned tonight that the Daily Telegraph is publishing its newspaper from 100 years ago online. You can follow the Great War in near real time. It gives an interesting perspective about what was going on while western civilization crumbled and empires died in the mud of France.

I just spent another couple of hours there. It's hard to believe how much the social mores of the world changed, almost overnight but the reaction to such a huge bloodletting and relief among the survivors is almost palpable.
