MasterChef: The Professionals viewers rage as show bids au revoir to 'genius' French chef - after Marcus Wareing tells him he was 'trying too hard' Somehow, the snipers didn’t get him: “I came to the comforting conclusion that they were so nonplussed at seeing a lone man wandering in circles about no-man’s-land… that they decided, out of perhaps a secret admiration for my nonchalance, to dispatch their bullets safely out of my way; or they may have thought me plain crazy.” I'm A Celeb viewers are moved by Grace's Dent's campmates' tearful reaction to her goodbye letter: 'You can tell they really loved her' Toh film 1917, sebagaimana disebutkan di atas, juga terinspirasi dari kisah nyata. Utamanya kisah nyata kakek sang sutradara yang juga veteran Perang Dunia I, Alfred Hubert Mendes. Dari kisah Alfred itulah Sam Mendes meracik inti cerita meski tak semuanya mendasarkan dari pengalaman kakeknya. When Sam Mendes collected the Golden Globe for Best Director for 1917, he dedicated the award to his Trinidadian grandfather, Alfred. “He signed up for the First World War, he was aged 17.

Into this prehistoric landscape Alfred and C Company, attached to the Fourth Division, plunged. Tasked with entering and holding the village of Poelcappelle on October 12, the mist and drizzle of the morning offered some concealment, but not enough to, as Alfred wrote, “halt the massacre as we waded through. We came to a dead stop, flat on our bellies in the gluey mud, frantically wriggling towards a nearby crater…There were two bodies in the crater, mutilated and sprawled in the mud-water, their German uniforms barely recognizable.”Omid Scobie's new book is branded 'vicious' as he claims Charles, Camilla and William conspired to undermine Harry and Meghan Mendes was born in Trinidad, the eldest of six children in a Portuguese Creole family, and the son of Isabella Mendes (née Jardine) and Alfred Mendes.

Only a few kilometres away from Treux, where Eric served, is the town of Corbie. On its outskirts is the field where Baron Manfred von Richthofen (aka the Red Baron) crashed and died. Controversy still exists today as to who actually shot down Richthofen on 21 April 1918 although most “experts” now suggest it was probably Sergeant Cedric Popkin a Lewis Gunner with the Australian 4th Division rather than Canadian pilot Captain Roy Brown.
