    About the movie:
    Journey's End is a 2017 British war film based on the 1928 play by R. C. Sherriff. Written by Simon Reade and directed by Saul Dibb, it was screened in the "Special Presentations" section at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. The film is the fifth film adaptation of the play, following Journey's End (1930), The Other Side (1931), Aces High (1976), and Journey's End (1988 BBC TV film).
    Plot:
    Young Second Lieutenant Raleigh is sent to the front lines of the war, the trenches in Northern France. He requests of General Raleigh, his uncle, that he be under the command of Captain Stanhope of C Company, a man who was a few years his senior at school who used to holiday with Raleigh and his sister Margaret. Although an outstanding leader, who won the Military Cross at the Battle of Vimy Ridge, Stanhope has taken to heavy drinking to numb himself to the horrors of war. Other company officers include the kindly second-in-command, Lieutenant Osborne, an older man who likes to be called 'Uncle' by all fellow officers, Trotter, also an older man of lower social class promoted to make up shortages, and Hibbert whose attempts to escape the front line by complaining of eye pain are angrily rejected by Stanhope. The officers work as a close team, sitting down to a three-course dinner each evening (in practice whatever soup, tinned meat and tinned fruit the Mess Cook has rustled up - in contrast to the fine meals which more senior officers are shown eating behind the front). Raleigh learns his duties, making frequent inspections of the trenches, supervising the morning "Stand To" (guarding the trench in case of a dawn attack) and learning the names of his men. At any moment the Germans could launch an attack in what would come to be known as the German spring offensive. The battalion commander informs Stanhope that information from a deserter reveals that the German assault is planned for Thursday 21 March 1918.

    My street still had a WW1 veteran survivor or a mustard gas attack and a WW2 veteran PoW of a Japanese death camp. These guys had experienced more horror than anyone can imagine but both of them were living their retirement with crippling injuries and mental trauma too. They were not treated like Lions after the war was over and never regained the promise of their lives. Today, I think that most of the population would refuse drafted military conscription and, having seen the ingratitude of government and society to veterans, who could blame them.

    My grandfather was a soldier from November 1914 to March 1919. He served in Poland and Lithuania in 1915, at the Somme in 1916, at the Battle of Arras, the Battle of Menin and the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917, Operations Michael and Gneisenau as well as the 100 day retreat in 1918. He was wounded by MG fire at Kaunas, a grazing bullet to the torso at Ablaincourt, another in the neck at Arras, not forgetting the time a artillery shell struck the edge of the spade he was using while entrenching. His memoirs about that time are quite vivid and harrowing, especially when he tersely describes the demise of one man after the other of his 15 man Korporalschaft during 5 weeks in the line at the Somme.
    What these men, from both sides, had to go through is quite unimaginable these days.

    What enormous courage these men displayed. Crossing “no man’s land” with a single shot magazine rifle stymied by deep wet mud and rows of barbed wire, land mines, and in the face of withering machine gun fire is beyond belief. Then if you miraculously get to the enemy’s trench, exhausted you must begin hand to hand fighting because your long, single shot weapon with its huge bayonet is of little use in confined quarters. If you survive this you can now expect shell fire from the enemy to push you out of that trench.
    In the next battle you might be gassed or burned to death by flame throwers. But these men (on both sides) had little choice but to stay and fight again another day. What a foolish waste of human life.
    And when and if they return their jobs are gone and no one seems to care about them or the sacrifices they made. When will this lunacy ever end?

    My Grandfather (John L. Mohan) was an SFC in the American Expeditionary Forces in World War One. He died in his 80's but suffered PTSD and Dementia much too soon in life, most likely to what he experienced over there. I've always regretted that I never had the chance to tell him how thankful and proud I was of him. By the time I was old enough to understand what he did, he was too far gone to speak to him about it.

    The Imperial War Museum in London used to have many years ago a great WW1 section. On display were a bunch of what can only be described as ruthless almost medieval hand combat weapons improvised in the trenches for such raiding parties. Pickaxe handle wrapped at the top with barbed wire, and old medieval metal gauntlet that had a bayonet fixed to it and so on....... Chilling

    That is an operation that should be carried out in darkness and not in broad daylight. But they were successful in getting a prisoner which will be some unlucky German Private who would know nothing but will get to survive the war as a POW. Though it was done at a high cost since they lost since 12 men went out on that patrol but only four came back. World War I put a huge dent into the generation of men who were born in the early to late 1890's who were led by Generals who did not understand that War had changed since mass wave attacks were only good for getting your men killed.

You can go back in film history, and find this is true. One little grunt, or short yell, and theyre dead. Of course its for expediency in production, but still dumb.

      Oh yeah, those are brilliant, and of course they all do it so the audience can just "move on." Still, its funny how consistent that is, especially in the kind of "celluloid turds" Steven Seagal makes.. Heres a fun fact: i worked with an old barber years ago, that was with those Rangers (2nd? 5th? I cant remember) who went up that cliff on D-Day. His name was Wilsie "Lucky" Ryan, and he was a private! Im sure there were tons of Ryans in the Army... His nickname "Lucky" was because when he was a kid, he played "Marbles" with the other kids and (apparently) won a lot.

      Sandbag covers were often put over helmets, certainly by the British, to make them less conspicuous. Sometimes mud was put on helmets and allowed to dry into something that was not shiny. There was some camouflage painting of helmets in WW1 as well though there was more creativity in WW2 in this area.
