Storyline

Did you know

Trivia
In writing letters back and forth in those early days,we wrote on the back of the pages received,or included the letter recd back to the sender....little known by the youngsters of today....but true anyway

Goofs
The newspaper announcing the start of the war has a picture of a British tank on the front. These were not developed until a year after the war started and did not see action until a year after that in 1916.

Quotes
Mrs. Marjorie Kelly: Indeed I will sir, but my sons won't be voting, they'll be fighting this war. I thought perhaps you might like to know what they think. They are not the King's men. They are my sons. They are our sons. Our sons! They went without question and still nobody can tell me exactly why they went and even worse, nobody can guess when they might be back again. And you want some other mother's son against his will. Against her will? You insult the very freedom you say we're fighting for. How dare you. How dare you!
