I actually do like the modern music, gives it a history channel effect with a factful approach to it

do you know the name of the hill that the Marines took, on which the brits and french lost a couple hundred thousand casualties in the previous 3 years of the war?

Good effort on this story. Well done. I don't know if I like the modern music with so many of the old photographs and footage. But, it is different and that is good. Good work on finding the footage. There are only a few errors that many people consider common knowledge and are false. "Devil dogs" for instance. Not really true, but they teach it in boot so oh well.
