They Shall Not Grow Old

Using state-of-the-art technology to restore original archival footage that is more than a 100 years old, this documentary brings to life the people who can best tell the story of World War I: the men who were there. With materials from the BBC and Imperial War Museums� archives, the voices of the men who fought recount the reality of war on the front line; their attitudes to the conflict; how they ate; slept and formed friendships, as well what their lives were like away from the trenches during periods of downtime.
