PASSCHENDAELLE

[Gil Boyd]

Watched that film last night, take out the love bits, the action was excellent all about the 20,000 Canadians at that battle following Vimy Ridge. Definitley worth a watch for Military accuracy and the heroic battle fought by Sergeant Micheal Dunne MM.
This is the film where the Canadian lad gets blown out of the German trenches by a shell, and thrown up onto part of a foot board from the trench making him look like Christ.
Both sides stop firing when the Germans realised Dunne had gone out unarmed to recover the body of his friend. Very moving piece and I understand fact.
