WW1 brought to life in colour

Stories of some of the soldiers who fought in World War One are being brought to life in a colourful new feature length documentary They Shall Not Grow Old.

Someone should send this documentary to the creators of Battlefield.

They looks like they’re in such good spirits. Even tho they were in a war where they saw their own men and
friends die and other horrible things. Mad respect for these men.

[fbi]

Just a tip, don’t refer to it as “bringing WWI to life”

How do I wish the camera had been invented at an earlier age? At least we could have watched Napoleon, the French Revolution, and fashion in the era of Louis 16, with sound and image, how wonderful that was

0:39 the guy that randomly jumps made me laugh so much.

1:42 *And here we see him rocking the "Peter Griffin"*

My great great grandfather private Nathan Bradley died in may 1917 fighting in France. What upsets me more now is after researching my family tree 2 years before Nathan died his younger brother John died in Gallipoli in August 1915 and Nathan youngest son died in 1916 at 6 years of age. He would have been fighting in France and getting letters about his brother and his son dying before being killed himself the year later. It upsets me about what state of mind he must have been in?

Being in them trenches was bad enough but hearing his youngest son had died and his brother too. God rest his soul. I'm so proud of him.
