Voices of The First World War Volumes 1 & 2 DVD Voices of The First World War is a unique documentary project from IWM which combines rare archive footage with the personal testimony of the people who lived through it. From British Tommies to German submarine captains, from the flying aces to the bomb girls, we hear for ourselves the sometimes humorous, but often harrowing stories of the worst conflict the world has ever known. Volume One features personal eyewitness accounts by the men and women who were there, from the first soldiers to arrive in France who would soon find themselves knee-deep in mud , to those who endured the first air raids in Britain s history. Volume Two includes the testimonies from the first fighter pilots, the knights of the skies , the soldiers who, in the most terrible conditions, survived Passchendaele, and the muted reaction on the Western Front when finally the guns fell silent.
