Tynie b Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 The EEN got it's facts wrong. FFS, poor, poor journalism. . I was going to ask what they'd gotten wrong, Then, Like you probably, I read the comments at the bottom of the page!! Never read McCrae's Batallion...Started to but never finished it...Keep meaning to give it another go, One day I suppose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboJay Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Its no excuse I know, but maybe the original journo is an arts correspondent, rather than a sports, or war/history for that matter. As I said it's not really a defence, as he should have checked it out with the writer of the play/show who i hope has HIS facts right , sloppy research though.

Never read McCrae's Batallion...Started to but never finished it...Keep meaning to give it another go, One day I suppose! As I was reading the section about the entire team, it rang a bell with me. Then obviously reading the comment at the bottom confirmed it. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blairdin Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'd hoped this thread would focus less on typically shoddy evening Hobo 'journalism' and more on the project being (badly) reported. Would be interested to know if anyone knew this project was on the go or whether Jack Alexander was consulted ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
