I loved that! I was especially moved by the soldier’s rendition of “Mademoiselle from Armentierres’
The amount of work done on the silent real footage, the lip readers who transcribed the comments they could “read”- and then putting the words to a Cockney, or Yorkshire etc accent— just fantastic, chilling and very much admiration for these now long gone Soldiers.
And yes— the real lyrics to Mademoiselle From Armientierres-— ...”She’ll do it for wine she’ll do it for rum And sometimes for chocolate or chewing gum
Hinky-dinky parlez-vous...and in the film, lyrics not found very much in print.....: “moved her axx like a Maxim gun, hinky dinky Parles Vous!” Some tough and many later broken men. God Bless Them and their memory. And incredible work by Jackson (he, of the Hobbit, and Lord of the Rings epics).
