Summary: A great movie
Comment: I recommend this movie to everyone.As you people know their aren't many good W.W.I.movies around let alone of this quality.All of the acting was great.The bird that got the shelling stopped is in the Washing D.C. museum of American Wars.

Summary: The Lost Battalion
Comment: A well done historical film that is accurate in almost all details. If you are a military buff this film will not disappoint. The film is fast paced and draws you into the gritty action of WW I fighting. Cut and isolated inside German lines the Battalion must fight with every thing that it can muster.
One of the best WWI films if not the very best.

Summary: how could they make this junk?
Comment: The true story of the Lost Battalion is an amazing tale, far more so than this schlock. Historically, this is a poor retelling. They also screw around and do lots of incorrect uniforms, insignia, equipment and in general alter relaity to make it "a cool story" on a low budget.
You want to know what really happened? go read "Finding the Lost Battalion.
This does no justice to the men who were there, who deserve far better than this poorly written and produced cheap production. Charles Whittlesey
is a hero of mine. A man to be respected for both his wartime serivce and the price he paiud afterwards. THIS is not Whittlesey.
I do not think I have ever been more disapointed by a film. Go watch What Price Glory if you want to see some WW1 stuff, or either version of all quiet on the western front.

Summary: Lose No Time, buy this at Once
Comment: Every bit as good as I remember it from when it first appeared on television. Rick Shroder is fantastic and all the characters have depth and believability. The back and forth between the enlisted men, the genuine love they have for one another, reminds me of my relationships with my comrades in Vietnam.
This is a very poignant telling of a true tale, a tale of how individual courage and commitment to one's comrades, bring meaning to what otherwise would have been an awful waste of life in a war of Trench warefare where wasted lives were the norm.

Summary: Outstanding
Comment: Saw this movie first on the A&E network. Just came across it channel surfing. After watching a part I looked til it was on again and watched the whole thing. It was outstanding. Rick Schroder is excellent in this performance. This is a story of a battle largely unheard of in the history books.
