BBC ALBA - Leabhraichean-latha a' Chogaidh Mhòir/Great War Diaries, Episode 2

The story of 1914-18 told through the eyes of those who lived through it.

Based on letters and journals, this is the second programme in the series telling the story of 1914-18 solely through the eyes of those who lived through it.

Tha an sreath phrògraman 'Leabhraichean-latha a' Chogaidh Mhòir' stèidhichte air seann litrichean agus leabhraichean-latha, 's nam measg tha cuid mhath nach do nochd ann an clò roimhe. Tha na prògraman ag innse sgeulachd a' Chogaidh Mhòir 1914-1918, tro shùilean cuid dhe bha beò tro na bliadhnaichean brùideil sin agus a' sàs ann, neo a' fulang air a shàilleabh. Tha an sreath sònraichte seo air 25 craoladair a thoirt còmhla bho air feadh an t-saoghail airson a' cheudamh cheann- liadhna dhen Chiad Chogadh a chomharrachadh air an telebhisean.

Às dèidh dà bhliadhna dhen chogadh, tha saighdearan agus sìobhaltaich air gach taobh dhen bhlàr a' fulang gu dona. Sa phrògram seo cluinnear sgeulachdan mu fhaireachdainnean nighinne òige Chossagaich às dèidh dhi ionnsaigh gas fhulang aig Aghaidh na Ruis; eu-dòchas saighdeir Ostairich nuair a tha e air a thoirt a Shiberia; oidhirpean èiginneach banaltraim saor-thoileach Albannach 's i feuchainn ri na shàbhaladh à sgrios-cinnidh ann an Arminia a chuideachadh; Eadailteach-Ameireaganach mì-shuaimhneach a tha a' creidsinn gu bheil e air a ghlacadh leis an Spiorad Naomh; Oifigear Breatannach a dh'fheumas a bhith na fhear-iùil airson Poileas an Airm; saighdear Gearmailteach a tha an lùib uabhas an Somme agus nighean-sgoile Ghearmailteach 's a càirdeas-gaoil goirid còmhla ri fleasgach òg a th' ann am Feachd Rìoghail an Adhair. Tha sgrìobhaidhean gach fear agus tè dhiubh seo a' lìbhrigeadh cùisean gu fìrinneach tron eòlas fhèin, rud nach eil tric ann an tùsan eachdraidheil, le sgeulachdan cumhachdach làn faireachdainnean mu chall pearsanta, gaol, eagal, cràdh agus trom mhulad. Mar sin, tro dhràma dhlùth-aithriseach chumhachdach, tha an luchd-amhairc a' faighinn sealladh dhen chogadh as brùideile a chunnaiceas riamh, tro bheachdan agus shùilean nan truaghan a bha na mheasg neo na phàirt dheth. Tha Leabhraichean-latha a'
Chogaidh Mhòir a' taisbeanadh fèin-fhiosrachadh mic-an-duine eadar 1914-1918, gun ghuth air mìneachaidhean eachdraidheil.

Based on letters and journals, many of which have never been published before, this programme tells the story of 1914-18 solely through the eyes of those who lived through it. 

Featuring the stories of a young Cossack girl's experience of a gas attack on the Russian front, an Austrian soldier's despair as he is transported to Siberia, the desperate attempts of a Scottish volunteer nurse to help the survivors of the genocide in Armenia, a traumatised Italian American who believes he is possessed by the Holy Spirit, a British officer who has to act as tour guide for an MP, a German soldier who witnesses the horrors of the Somme and a German schoolgirl who is drawn into a brief romance with a young airman. 

Their writings focus on what archive and historical analysis cannot reveal - personal tragedy, love, fear, pain and grief. Through glorious dramatic reconstruction, viewers experience the greatest war mankind had ever seen from the perspective of what it was like at the time.
