    3:35 he messed up his cue but rescued it heroically

    Me and my husband have a similar arrangement we don't fight before noon. Works well tbh.

    It was the same in some British sectors. Many years ago I knew an old lady who had been a nurse. She said the British liked the Saxons who once put up a notice "We are Saxons you are Anglo Saxons you aim high and we will aim high. Of course like sensible men they did but this never happened when they faced the Prussians.

    Wow. Somebody *actually* speaking German instead of merely pretending to...

      Yeah! I'm pretty sure that particular actor is a real expat German. He appears in other Australian shows as a German. "The Lighthorse" from 1989 is one.

    Given all the knowledge we have of WW1 this scene pretty much sums parts of the Western Front brilliantly. A new officer not in touch with the reality at the front = bad bad bad. Mostly for the rank and files who are the ones shelled.

    Young buck butter bar wet behind a year. This is the kinda attitude that will get this 2nd Lieutenant killed in the first 20 minutes of battle.

    Um, aren't the men supposed to inform new officers of standing orders?
    Funny clip, though.

    This is why i like ww1 such things could happend so many times especially between the british and the germans just like on christmass when they met and played football.
    Sadly we can t see such things in modern wars.

    Much too clean for a 1917 trench. Fill it up halfway to the knees with water and filth, vermin and bugs, and you'd be close.
