Surprising good ??
Intriguing true story!
My husband loves watching war films, especially when they portray little known, amazing stories.
This is one of those, he knew that it actually happened but to see it re-enacted was so interesting, even for me.
Don't take any notice of the negative reviews, miners have a very specific skill, that's why mining was a protected profession.
The Royal Engineers would have been employed elsewhere, doing what they did best, built bridges, re-built roads, they weren't there for digging.
It was interesting to see the difference between the trained soldiers and the miners, both had integrity and bravery but in different ways!
If you enjoy seeing true stories of real people who made valuable contributions to, in this case, winning WWI, you'll enjoy this!
