Brothers In Arms - The Pals Army of WW1

THE PALS ARMY OF WWIThis film tells the epic story of the young men who joined up together, fought together and died together in World War One. Illustrated by a wealth of archive footage, the programme draws on a unique collection of filmed interviews with veterans in their nineties and hundreds who vividly remember how they volunteered with their friends in the first days of war to serve in Kitchener s Army and the Pals Battalions. They relive the heroism and heartbreak of the pals in the trenches who went over the top together. On the centenary of the war to end all wars, this is a fitting tribute to a generation of young men distinguished by their sense of patriotism, duty, friendship, loyalty and courage.
