Mad Morph thank you for the sanctity of this reading. TLOTR was written with what throughout the books is called a fool’s hope. War will cease and peace will be. For everyone here is a bit of information on Tolkien and his experience of WW1. Hope no one minds: • He enlisted in 1915, during World War I, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the British Army. • He fought in the Battle of the Somme (1916), one of the deadliest battles in history. • During the war, Tolkien contracted trench fever, a debilitating illness caused by lice, and was sent home to recover. Many of his close friends died in the war — an emotional wound that left lasting marks on his soul.
