Great clip! It's just so very English - an England long ago.

What idiots. Thinking there is glory in war.

Horrocks was an exceptional leader and he would brief like that. To find out more about the man his autobiography 'A Full Life' is a great read....

@hemming57 A true man of honour. Very charming.

@SugarTomAppleRoger What was Fox like?
-
@mphrdldn Y'know, when I read your msg I didn't even remember what it could be about... Anyway, I'm sure you are right. And not only I have never been a 3-star general, I've never been on a frontline either.

@bebopbaby That is a real shame. A real sorrow for your Dad's brave cousin.

@Gheorgyi Horrocks wasn't that kind of leader. He was VERY unusual for a British general, ahead of his time in how he informed his troops. Factual? He used to visit the front lines and produce large maps, showing them what and how they were doing.
closedcircle1 thanks for pointing this out! Which is he, row from bottom and seats from right (or left)? What did he think of the movie? It was one of the last great WWII films on that scale, and depicted a painful and tragic mile post on the road to Allied victory in Europe.
