I've been reading a number of first hand accounts about the Great War.

Swearing is carefully censored with "Bloody" being shown as "B____y" and the F word is just _______. Even Damned is "D_______d"!

On the other hand Black Labour Corps troops are openly described in print as "Niggers" or "Kaffirs". Arabs are "Wogs" and Chinese Labour Corps are "Chinks".

How things have changed over the last 100 years!
