BBC ALBA - Leabhraichean-latha a' Chogaidh Mhòir/Great War Diaries, Episode 3

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

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

Tha 'Leabhraichean-latha a' Chogaidh Mhòir' stèidhichte air seann litrichean agus leabhraichean-latha. 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.

Às dèidh còrr 's trì bliadhna, tha an cogadh a' tòiseachadh ri tighinn gu crìch. Tha an sluagh gam brosnachadh fhèin tro gach latha dhen bhliadhna bhrùideil mu dheireadh, gus an sguir am blàr 's am marbhadh. Sa phrògram seo cluinnear sgeulachdan mu Bhan-Chossagach òg glacte am measg ar-a-mach nam Bolshevik; ban-Shasannach bheairteach a tha na ban-phoileas airson feachd ùr Poileas nam Ban, 's a h-obair ga cur am measg na stailc aig factaraidh na h-armachd; neach-teagaisg piàna Austràilianach a tha feuchainn ri tilleadh dhachaigh 's i glacte ann an dùthaich an nàmhaid; saighdear Eadailteach-Ameireaganach, a thathar ag ràdh a tha às a chiall, 's e os cionn ar-a-mach ann an ospadal leigheis-inntinn; saighdear Gearmailteach a tha glacte am measg ar-a-mach shaighdearan; nighean-sgoile Ghearmailteach a tha feuchainn ri tighinn ri beatha fhèin; fear-naidheachd à Sasainn a tha air a sgreamhachadh le modh agus gnìomhan an caraidean-cogaidh fhad 's a tha an cogadh a' tighinn gu crìch, agus gille òg Frangach a tha faicinn nan Gearmailteach a' gèilleadh agus crìoch dheireannach a' chogaidh mhòir. Tha leabhraichean-latha gach fear agus tè dhiubh seo a' soilleireachadh cùisean gu fìrinneach tron eòlas fhèin, rud nach eil tric ann an tùsan eachdraidheil, le sgeulachdan cumhachdach làn faireachdainnean mu chall pearsanta, gaol, toileachas, 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 neo sgrùdadh
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. 

After more than three years, the war is beginning to draw to a close. Featuring the stories of a young Cossack woman caught up in the Bolshevik revolution, a wealthy English lady who, as part of the newly formed women's police force, becomes involved in a strike at an ammunition factory, an Australian piano teacher trying to get home from behind enemy lines, an Italian-American committed as insane who leads a revolt in a mental institution, a German soldier caught up in a mutiny, a German schoolgirl who attempts suicide, an experienced English journalist who is sickened by the Allies' behaviour as the war comes to a close, and a young French boy who witnesses the German retreat and the final end of the war.

Through glorious dramatic reconstruction, viewers experience the greatest war mankind had ever seen from the perspective of what it was like at the time.
