Factual error: The British medical station is above ground and too close to the front lines. It is well within range of German artillery. Normally, such large open-air stations would be miles behind the front lines. Smaller, underground aid stations would give first aid to the wounded. Then they would move to the larger medical stations.

A rather unusual film in the fact most war films concentrate on WW2, Falklands or Vietnam. Not many focus of The Great War. Also of note is the single camera shot through the film. The films lacks any major action with the exception of the last 10 minutes. Worth a watch just for the uniqueness. 3/5.

Question: Does Schofield throw away his canteen after he pours water over his eyes? In any event he has it again to fill with milk at the abandoned farm house.
Answer: He puts his canteen back after he poured water over his eyes. You can tell because after he gets up it's hanging on his side again.
