"Voices of the First World War is a unique documentary project from the Imperial War Museums which combines rare and previously unseen film, with the intensely person testimony of the people who lived through it. Painstakingly researched, these remarkable films capture the very essence of day-to-day life during the war to end all wars. From British Tommies to German submarine captains, from the flying aces, to the bomb girls, we hear for ourselves in sometimes humerous, but often harrowing accounts, the extraordinary bravery, spirit and sacrifice that defined a generation."--Container.
