The material I wrote (final editing/photo by someone else) for other websites has a basic war theme:
Glossary: Mapping Terms
The Fall of Jerusalem (Jewish Bible)
Symbolism: Hades
And, for less serious stuff, a pair of films.
Dancing Mothers, a silent film with the well-known Clara Bow as a daughter named "Kitten," is actually a somewhat serious affair (well-chosen word) with a feminist undertone. The film is one of the few with Clara Bow that my library system has.
I have seen very few silents, but this is pretty good. Sorry, no closed captioning!
(This is the one bit totally not war-related though WWI is mentioned in passing.)

It's A Great Life is the Saturday morning Blondie film, a staple on one old movie channel (this one has commercials).
Yes, it's based on the comic strip, and most of the films are from the 1940s. They are a mixed bag. This one is quite amusing and overall well done. There is a clever WWII-themed joke about cleaning rugs (the boy draws a picture of Hitler on a sheet to hit!).
Normal silliness -- Dagwood accidentally gets a horse instead of a house. The cleverness continues to the last bit.
(By chance, a Petticoat Junction episode that aired earlier on another channel had a fake foxhunt -- it's when a daughter wins an English butler -- and this one is a real one! The dogs in both are well-trained. The horse here is too.)
