Documentary Video now on course reserve

The Canadian National Film Board documentary on The Battle of Vimy Ridge, part of its series on the First World War, is now on course reserve in VHS format. It is in four tapes, of about twenty minutes each, which can be taken out singly.
The narrator, Paul Gross, has this to say elsewhere about his engagement with the War:

Paul Gross has never been able to forget watching his grandfather die.
"He went completely out of his mind at the end. He started telling me about a hideous event that happened during a skirmish in a little ruined town in World War I. He'd killed someone in a miserable, horrible way and that had obviously haunted him throughout the rest of his life. As my grandfather died, in his mind he was back in that town, trying to find a German boy whom he'd bayonetted in the forehead. He'd lived with that memory all his life - and he was of a time when people kept things to themselves. When he finally told the story, it really affected me and I've
not been able to get it out of my head." Unable to rid himself of the tale, Paul decided to put it down on paper. It is now a screenplay which he hopes to be able to turn into a film.
