Life in the Trenches

Synopsis

Explains what it meant to live and fight on the Western Front, from the innocent patriotism of Kitchener’s Army to the war-weary anger of the war poets. Uses contemporary film footage and photographic images, computer graphics and dramatised accounts of those who were there to convey the horror of life in the trenches. Includes comments and analysis by Dr David Chandler.
