Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMuch of the footage had never been seen, having sat in the vaults of London's Imperial War Museum for many years.
- GoofsSeveral shots of tanks appear in the film, both Mark V (Mark Five) and Mark V* (Mark Five Star). They have been colourised green. In reality, tanks of these types were painted "a neutral brown colour". See the article by the British Tank Museum which states that. "Surrendering to the inevitable, towards the end of 1916 it was ordered that the tanks should be painted in a 'neutral brown colour' all over." These tanks entered service in 1918, and were factory-painted brown.

Featured review
Everyone over the age of 13 should be made to watch this.
This is simple exceptional work at every level from Peter Jackson and his team.
It showed the pure fragility of life, and how the soldiers dealt with it, mainly with humour and machine gun boiled tea.
It's haunting yet funny, disturbing yet uplifting. It's war. And this is the closest I ever want to come to it.
