I realise that there is a limit to the information presented due to time and space considerations. But the overall presentation left a lot of facts out and overall was only marginally relevant to my particular interest; that being, the First Battle of Bullecourt fought on the 11th April 1917. Sadly we lost this battle and i presume that this is why it was virtually glossed over. Ce la vie, but having visited Bullecourt a couple of times to remember my family's loss, and having accessed the war diaries of the particular Battalions involved and other government information on this particular battle previously, It presented no new knowledge and sadly I'm not even convinced that the presenters treated this portion of the film critically. I accept that this particular tragedy is not spoken of in most military circles as "We lost" and most historians would much rather promote those battles that we won as this is human nature. Overall, an interesting overview of the Western Front with some great gaps. A reasonable watch.Read full review

The two narrators use maps superimposed on tables and walking in the actual towns in the present day to explain the major tactics and results of the major battles the Aussies were involved in on the Western Front. Its an informative and entertaining overview of the battles and the conditions that were faced by the Aussies.

I've watched this DVD on 3 seperate players and the soundtrack is dreadful. Very fast moving doco however the sound is so bad I gave up trying to understand what they were saying.
