Sir Sam Mendes says his grandfather Alfred, who entered WWI as a 17-year-old in 1916, carried messages through no-man's land. He was 5'4" tall and was often hidden by the winter mist that reached as high as 6 feet. Two years in the muddy trenches left Alfred with a lifelong habit of washing his hands frequently. He didn't talk about his wartime experiences until he was in his 70s.
