      I've been trying to find "You and What Army, Private Ryan?" for download for some time. RTE broadcast it some time ago, never seen it since.

        Whoever was involved in Lighting for that program needs to go back to broadcasting school.
        I think it was produced by the DFAVS rather than RTE.

            How do they decide which men are to die/get wounded/live,etc? is it just a variation of front-centre-rear?

              Only the good looking guys got to live it depended where you were at the time,
              Some days you died/wounded, other days you charged right up to the cliff, and as it was hot, most wanted to die and lie on the beach remember we were wearing a version of lighter bulls wool.

                      That as well, and how much blood makeup put on you in the morning after your 5am call.

                            Braveheart & Micheal Collins

                            Just thought I would share a little story with ye
                            about 5 years was working as a welder in a engineering firm
                            another welder there was a member of de RDF who had worked on both Braveheart & Micheal Collins
                            as I am ex-Naval Service we often talked about our different experiences
                            He was showing us photos he had taken on de set of Micheal Collins with all de actors and was saying how nice they were to pose for photos & autographs
                            we then asked him if he had any photos from Braveheart
                            he said he took loads but then production staff gathered all the cameras and destroyed de film in same
                            contrasting his different experiences he said with de most serious face on him
                            "I would never work with Mel Gibson again"


                            Just though I would share de love!
                            What do you mean abandon ship
                            Are they taking requests?
