RIP WW I guy's and thank you all for your sacrifices. Excellent piece of narration by Mr. Leo Mckem. This was a very moving video and brought tears in my eyes. May God bless all of those brave souls. Amen.
one of the many statements in this great documentary is two years in the making. ten minutes in the destroying comes from the best book ever about the battle of the somme covenant with death by john harris a must read for anybody interested in the great war
I saw this when it was repeated in 1986 and left a profound memory on me. i have read so much and seen so much since but this is a fine tribute and greatest first world war documentry.
