  • my great uncle died in this offensive. he fought with the royal welch fusiliers

  • @tomtombyron :'(

  • This the best series ever made about the Great War. First broadcast in 1964 I made sure I got the whole series when it came out on DVD. Sir Michael Redgrave's voice is just about perfect giving the impression that he was a witness to these tragic events. No time wasted giving an anti-war message - just hard facts.

  • @DigbyCaballero Yes this is great, it reminds me of "The World at War" series, lovely.

    RIP to those who died during the great war.

  • @Mu51ch3r3 The World At War was based on this series. But this series is probably better.

  • @DigbyCaballero I agree, I love the even-handed and factual approach in this series. I think too many people today understand only that the war was tragic; but they don't seek to understand the details in history which explain what happened and why and when and where and how; this series seems to cover that excellently, and I'm so glad it got posted or I would have never found it

  • What documentary is this from?

  • So beautifully wriiten - "For a brief period there was an uneasy equipoise..."

    Cllassic documentary writing

  • @belisariusorb I really like this documentary as well. I think it is one of the most beautifully made classic documentaries and for certain the most comprehensive WW1 documentaries available. Sir Redgrave also provided a splendid voice-over.
