Summary
In a remarkable exercise spanning the last 15 years, the last survivors of the Great War were interviewed on film. These are unique stories of courage, sacrifice and tragedy told by the men and women who were there. Now to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the armistice, these extraordinary interviews have been brought together for the first time. This six part series begins in 1914 with a wave of fervant patriotism to accompany the outbreak of war. It was a euphoria that would soon be shattered, lost in the shell torn landscapes and water filled trenches that spanned the Western Front
