Tales from the Great War

For anyone with a small knowledge of WW1, the soldiers who fought and the Edwardian supernatural/mystic/weird era (Kipling, Conan-Doyle, HG Wells), this is a brilliant portrayal of the real horror of the trenches. Evocative, humorous (don't you know who I am on the telephone?) military and other gags. Watch and listen carefully for the humour. You're drawn into the brutal and recent, very good "It's all quiet on the Western Front" story of young men and 1916 British conscripts/volunteers (follow the pointing Kitchener finger!). The horror in the minds of the men in the mud we'll never know. This film provides an insight into their thinking.
