    1917 FILM

    A good ex Parachute Regiment friend Paul Biddiss sent me this link to his website to show the lengths they went to to dig over a mile of WW1 trenches and rebuilt towns and buildings for the film.
    His role was to ensure ALL actors were dressed correctly and the weapon drills carried out correctly...........looking forward to the film released in January 2020.

    Trawl down to the PLAY sysmobol on each piece to play the footage of the tribulations they had on site:
