He has no known grave, meaning he was blown to bits or just plain lost in the mud.I do my best to see that he is remembered. With his death, a family line of four generations also died out.</p> <p>But then,I do giggle at things like Hogan&#39;s heroes, and it means no disrespect to any of the soldiers lost in WWII.</p> <p>The donation of funds is a great idea.Good luck, sounds like a big venture. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/the-somme-fry-for-thought#post-289205 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 19:09:27 +0000 DopplerUK 289205@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Hey Ladies/Gentlemen,</p> <p>Hope all are doing fantastic. I don&#39;t mean to tread on anybody&#39;s toes here, but my studio &#39;TopHat Game Studios&#39; are developing a World War One video game for Windows. Which can be visited by the links at the bottom. Growing up as a kid, I was of course an avid fan of Blackadder, who that is British doesn&#39;t love the incredibly whit humour from it. My personal favourite line is from Fry himself &quot;Now then, now, now then now, then now, how now, now then&quot;.</p> <p>We are also deducting 5% of the game&#39;s total annual earnings to the British Red Cross in support of all the brave people who aid this world in deseperate times.</p> <p>We would love to hear what Fry&#39;s fans think of such a game. We would love to hear a response from Stephen himself and maybe he could play a huge role in it himself! </p> <p><img src="http://media.indiedb.com/images/articles/1/113/112708/auto/redcross.png"></p> <p>IndieDB: <a href="http://www.indiedb.com/games/the-somme" rel="nofollow">http://www.indiedb.com/games/the-somme</a><br /> Website: <a href="http://tophat-studios.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://tophat-studios.co.uk/</a></p> <p>Thank you! &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif&quot; title=&quot;:lol:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p>
