I am in the 3rd episode of this series and recommend it highly. They have taken 14 diaries of people - from combatants to family members, and through good acting brought them to life.
We see a 15 year old Cossack girl who fights the Turks - a German girl who befriended a student pilot....
Follow an upper class British woman who volunteers as a nurse for the front lines...Or a German family who lets their son volunteer in 1914...
This series shows you on a multi faceted level the horrible effect the Great War had on society.
Think Ken Burn's Civil War series (itself excellent) brought to life.
