The Western Front during World War I
THE WAR: This is the story of a soldier’s life in the trenches of the Western Front during the Great War. For the millions of volunteer troops, the war which started as a great adventure – an opportunity to ‘do your bit’ for King and country – ended in the nightmare of the mud-filled trenches of Flanders and Picardy. For those who survived, life would never be the same.
The First World War (1914-1918) was supposed to be ‘the war to end all wars’. For the young, eager and patriotic men who enlisted in their thousands to fight for King and Country, it was to be a marvellous adventure – an opportunity to march to Glory with the battalions of ‘pals’ and ‘chums’. Nothing could have prepared them for the nightmare that beckoned.
For many the pride and excitement of “doing your bit for King and country” quickly turned to fear and shock. Millions of volunteers on the Western Front in World War One seeking the adventures of battle and foreign lands, soon discovered the misery of mud-filled trenches and of witnessing death on such a mammoth scale. Life would never be the same again. This documentary explains what it meant to live and fight on the Western front, from the innocent patriotism of ‘Kitchener’s Army’ to the war weary anger of the war poets. This is the story of the horror of life in the trenches.
Powerful archive film footage and photgraphic images are revealed in this film, featuring the latest computer graphics and dramatised accounts of those who were there, detailed descriptions of life for an everyday solider, poetry and songs with comment and analysis by Dr. David Chandler and a special appearance by Brian Blessed.
