Thanks. The UK show “Who Do You Think You Are?” (similar to the PBS spinoff of the same name) did an episode on Hugh Dennis (he’s a comedian over there, a regular on “Mock the Week”, looks a little like Ryan Stiles), found a WWI veteran ancestor, and reconstructed the engagement that killed nearly everyone else in his unit. They actually went to the location and walked the route his ancestor had described.
