Interesting film and being colourised brings it to life even more.

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing it.

Gives an indiction of how many were injured during WW1 and possibly WW2 as many in the film are on crutches minus limbs.

That was interesting although I thought there would be more ships in the pool of London during the war.

My Grandparents both came from London (Waterloo/Blackfriars) and spent nights down in the underground during the blitz before my Nan and my Mum/Aunt/uncle were evacuated. My Grandad had to stay in London because he was sent to the railway.

I suppose colourisation makes it look more relevant to the younger generation but I prefer monochrome if it was filmed that way. Conversely a lot of American war film was in colour originally.
