Forgotten Men on VHS

6 June 2002, 03:59 PM

Has anyone ever heard of this documentary. From what I gather it's more about the ground war than the air, BUT it is supposed to cover that area as well.

Check it out on (American) Ebay. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=2110054845)

I'd be interested in knowing if any of you have seen this documentary? Any input would be welcome. Also FYI I'm NOT the one selling this product. Just interested in it.

BobPhil...I've only seen it on EBay, I think there is one more tape that the guy is trying to sell, but that's the only place I've seen it.

Hello; Americanine, I am at last back with your information. The Tape has arrived and viewed, It is without doubt the finest movie footage I have ever seen on the Great War. Its running time is 75 mins. It is light on WW1 air shots, but some are shown. some of it I have not seen before. But the Trench shots are awesome. The interviews with the soldiers and Airmen who were there, the same. One is with Piper Dan Laidlaw VC. he is shown in full Highland dress and plays the tune Blue Bonnets over the Border, the tune he won the VC with.I thought this shot alone was worth the cost. this movie was made in 1934 and has been lost for 65 years.If you are interested in the complete war you should see it, I think it special and I am very happy to have found it. Thank you so much for the heads up. Best Wishes. Muff
