biggles90000: i didnt really like The Thin Red Line but did think that film the Dirty Dozen was excellent.
@Green-Sleeves - I didn't realise there was an original version of 'The Thin Red line'
@Biggles - Dirty Dozen was good craic. I liked 'The Wild Geese' with Roger Moore and 'The Dogs of War' with Christopher Walken.
Another goldie oldie was 'Never So Few' with Steve McQueen and Frank Sinatra.

Hi Rosa. Have you any particular areas of interest of WW1 or 2? Have any family connection to the conflicts?
Del, yeah the original 'The Thin Red Line' from the 60's I believe was more of your typical gung ho war movie that you would expect from that era but still with a dark edge to it. I dont know how Mallick came about with the remake the way he did, he split one character into many 'all voices of the same man'? I believe there is a 6 hour version of the movie floating about somewhere that has cameo's from many other famous actors including Mickey Rourke!
A big thank you to everybody who put an input into this thread it is great to read everybody's interests in Military History from books to films and other subjects relating to the topic in hand keep it up guys and girls.

Enjoyable thread and guess what, 13 pages that have stayed for the most part on track!! Thats an achievement in itself. Just curious now as to why your replies have got thumbs downs?

Excellent! Enjoy it, wish I had a family member to research!
The only bit of research I did was when I bought a pair of WW1 binoculars, the leather case was marked 'PO (petty officer) Lawson, D coy 'Drake''I was able to get his service records for a few euro and discovered he was quiet a character, found of the drink and getting himself in trouble, even struck a superior offier once. A Scotsman too!
'Drake' was apparently a naval reserve unit, see if there is anything in your books?
The Irish Regiments who fought for the Confederates during the American Civil War (1861-1865).

Yea my Great Grandad was a gunner in the WW1 served with the Royal Horse Artillery was mentioned in dispatches for bravery some say he was an aide to Lawrence Of Arabia just checked there now and found that he did serve in Mesopotamia which was Iraq at the time so it could be true.
