It's very well done... the film maker must have had a good eye and lots of patience!

A very moving video. At about 17:20 it talks about the village of Beaumont Hamel. That is where the Royal Nfld Regiment went over the top. 801 men advanced that morning. 68 answered the roll that evening. A casualty rate of 90%.
