[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 474811, member: 1408"] A remarkable film by Peter Jackson ( Lord of the Rings) . They must have digitally enhanced the footage so that it moves in real time , not that fast jerky look captured by hand cranked cine cameras , and colourised . It covers thousands of men signing up after listening to the massed [S]bull **** [/S] propaganda from the establishment , follows basic training ( most recruits under nourished & in poor health) .....years in the trenches , finishing with a bayonet charge against the German machine guns . Even I can see thats not a good idea, the Generals must have thought we've sat here for two years and achieved nothing so lets run at them with pointy sticks . Don't turn back or your own officers will shoot you . The action was won with the loss of thousands of lives , most of them under 20 . Total & utter disgrace , the Generals should have been court marshalled . [/QUOTE]
