I was There: The Great War Interviews

Synopsis: In the early 1960s, the BBC, in partnership with the Imperial War Museum, conducted a series of interviews with First World War veterans, for the television series THE GREAT WAR. Most of these interviews were not broadcast at the time and remained in the Imperial War Museum Archives until director Detlef Siebert decided to approach the IWM with the view to make a programme using the unseen footage, with the emphasis on the individuals themselves and their response to extreme situations, rather than the military and political history of the war itself.
