It was the same in some British sectors. Many years ago I knew an old lady who had been a nurse. She said the British liked the Saxons who once put up a notice "We are Saxons you are Anglo Saxons you aim high and we will aim high. Of course like sensible men they did but this never happened when they faced the Prussians.
Yeah! I'm pretty sure that particular actor is a real expat German. He appears in other Australian shows as a German. "The Lighthorse" from 1989 is one.
Given all the knowledge we have of WW1 this scene pretty much sums parts of the Western Front brilliantly. A new officer not in touch with the reality at the front = bad bad bad. Mostly for the rank and files who are the ones shelled.
This is why i like ww1 such things could happend so many times especially between the british and the germans just like on christmass when they met and played football. Sadly we can t see such things in modern wars.
and we also have holidays off where we get to play soccer with the enemy team.. and on thanksgiving we dine with the enemy.. ah how civilized war was ... now you just drop bombs on everyone at a push of a button
3:35 he messed up his cue but rescued it heroically
Me and my husband have a similar arrangement we don't fight before noon. Works well tbh.

Wow. Somebody *actually* speaking German instead of merely pretending to...

The true enemy of infantrymen - inexperienced officers
Damn replacements
very cool

Haha! "Entschuldigung, es tut uns leid! Wir haben einen neuen Offizier, er kennt sich nicht aus!"
Seems like a civilized arrangement to me, there's always a bloody spoilsport!
Everyone outside of the officer newbie knows how pointless the war is LOL
This seems to have aged quite well
Love this clip!
"We only get shot at by arrangement"
LOL! Makes perfect sense to me!
these just shows the absurdity of the entire thing.... thank you for uploading this great scene.
this has got to be one of my favorite war series. the LT ends up being stand up guy
i like the Arrangement
Awesome, thank you for this.
Where can I find episodes of this?
It's simply called "The Anzacs". I a pretty sure all full episodes are on UA-cam. last I looked anyway
One of the best war series ever made!
nice
Well seems like a good arrangement
Young buck butter bar wet behind a year. This is the kinda attitude that will get this 2nd Lieutenant killed in the first 20 minutes of battle.
Um, aren't the men supposed to inform new officers of standing orders?
Funny clip, though.
I thought this was going to be a comedy sketch like Hale and Pace! Great clip
Interesting, never heard of this series before.
absolutely amazing 😁
That looks like a WW2 vintage mortar to me.
Beautiful.
Why can’t we have this kind of gentlemanly attitude today?
What a fun little war
No more brothers wars

90 day wonders never change
Creature comforts and human needs beget diplomacy. Patriotism supercedes both.
Much too clean for a 1917 trench. Fill it up halfway to the knees with water and filth, vermin and bugs, and you'd be close.
Looks a bit modern for a WWI Mortar.......
Bloody beaut way to stoush!
Why do they have Polish flags on their arms?
Those are the colour symbols of their particular battalion. The 8th I believe.
Ryan Gosling in the thumbnail?
Was this a comedy?
that officer might get shot by accident?
:)
Why are they wearing WWII webbing?
Are you crazy, you would like to make war during tea time ? Not fair-play !!! Where did you got your education, it's a shame.
And the British lions were led by donkeys! an officer like that is more dangerous then the enemy.
and we also have holidays off where we get to play soccer with the enemy team.. and on thanksgiving we dine with the enemy.. ah how civilized war was ... now you just drop bombs on everyone at a push of a button
LOL!
LOL Stupid butter bar
LMFAO
