A french battle field from world war one, The battle of Somme. This had somewhat inspired The dead marshes, the place where Frodo had been transfixed by the corpses in the water. I like to say that the two world wars didn't affect me writing. "An author cannot of course remain wholly unaffected by his experience, but the ways in which a story-germ uses the soil of experience are extremely complex, and attempts to define the process are at best guesses from evidence that is inadequate and ambiguous." (http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-29787528).The approach to Mordor's Black Gate, I owe something to Northern France after the Battle of the Somme.(http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-29787528).
