“It’s in Belgium.’ ‘Where’s that?’ ‘It’s across the sea. Full of swamps, and Dutch and French who don’t want to be Dutch or French. Which is wholly understandable, but still didn’t prevent them being invaded by the Germans. Which is why my dad was there, to fight the Germans in a big to-do called the Great War. While he was there, he and lots of other soldiers dug holes in the ground called trenches, and they lived in them for months at a time and fought other men who lived in other holes.’ ‘Why?”
