I don't think there is any danger of losing the "voices" of those who fought in WW1, at least on the British side. People like Martin Middlebrook and Lyn MacDonald did a really good job, and only just in time, of documenting the memories of hundreds of veterans. If you want to know how those who were there remembered "black Friday" or the Hamburg fire storm raids., it's all at your local library or book store.
