My Italian Grandmother lost two brothers in World War I, both killed in the Alpine battles against the Austrians. Both were not even 20 years old yet. When I read the history of Italy's entry into the war it sickened me. They entered the war on the side of the allies simply for promised territorial gains when the war was over, which they never got. So many Italian soldiers died for nothing. Great job as usual, Nass. Thank you!

My mom's step dad was sergeant with the Canadians at Vimy Ridge. He'd always tell his guys not to slide into the German trenches because they'd take the rifles of the dead and and lean them up beside the trench with their bayonets attached to kill anyone sliding in on top of them. A 17 year old didn't listen, and when he slid into the trench the bayoneted rifle slid up his backside. My step granddad never got that boy's screaming out of his head.

I saw Peter Jackson's "They Shall Not Grow Old" in 3D. You really felt like he put you into a time machine and landed you right in the middle of WWI. Of course, he also had millions of dollars in technical and computer mainframe capabilities at his disposal to do this. He researched uniforms to extract the exact colors in the restoration. He recorded modern British artillery practice using caliber shells close to the WWI shell calibers to make the artillery rounds and explosion sounds as accurate as possible. He even hired police forensic lip readers to figure out what soldiers and officers were saying in the old silent film footage and then hired actors from the very same regions in Britain the units were from so the recreated speech was accurate. So it's hard to compete with what he did, considering the resources at Jackson's disposal, but this restoration is excellent nonetheless. The last footage starting around 7:25 looks like American troops rather than British. American uniforms were slightly different from British ones with "Persian" collared tunics rather than folded pointed collars the British had, and the American soft caps had the rear pinched flares as I see here, even though both armies had the same helmets which didn't change until a few months into 1942 after Pearl Harbor when the US issued the well-known GI WWII helmets and uniforms. Those GI-issued US helmets didn't change until after the Vietnam War when the US military switched to helmets made of Kevlar with better ear protection than the older WWII-style metal helmets had, and were much lighter weight.

Beautiful work, thank you. Little known fact. More than 8 million horses, mules and donkeys were killed in WW1. Of the 136, 000 Walers sent from Australia only one was returned home. Approximately 5.7 million Allied troops were lost.

There is something compelling about World War One. As a kid, there were quite a few veterans around but nothing was ever said. One day, our neighbour who was called Dr Gower Johnson, a man in is eighties called in. He sat down and my father asked him about life in the trenches- he had been a junior officer- and he discussed it- but I was absorbed with some rubbish on the TV and hardly heard a word he said. He died not too long afterwards, so I missed something worthwhile and interesting. I met a very old man in 1989 who was a WW1 veteran and had a few words with him but I was just delivering a fireplace and had to be on my way but I would have liked to have talked to him longer- the last veteran of the Great War I ever met.

7:29 I think ai colored that guy's canteen "thinking" it was a face. Or the guy's actually carrying a head with a helmet on clipped to his waist.

I wonder how many people joined the military for this war because they heard it would be the war to end all wars. How bitterly disappointed they must have been when the second world war started in only 20 years.
