Today we take our final WW1 journey through the trenches with the 2019 movie, 1917. The story is based around two British soldiers desperately trying to make it to the front lines in order to save 1,600 men. 1917 is a rare movie masterpiece directed by Sam Mendes, starring Dean-Charles Chapman, George MacKay, and Daniel Hayes. The movie was nominated for 200 awards, won 134, and bagged 3 Oscars. 

Today we honor Alfred Mendez who enlisted on October 17th 1917, in the first battalion rifle brigade in the British army. He went on to have a successful writing career and worked in his family business until he died in 1991.
