To hear First War Canadian voices and accents, go to the CBC Archives and listen to all five one-hour episodes of "The Bugle and the Passing Bell".

I understand Sir Peter had old field guns of the era fired by the N.Z. Army, so that he could record the sounds from various locations, to help make a more truely accurate sound track.This was not the "tear jerker" that one might expect as Sir Peter was trying to portray more of the lives, views and experiences of the soldiers, than presenting another 'doco" on the war.

As a Kiwi, proud of Sir Peter's work, I was pleased to read Ed's valued and positive critique.
It has not been released here in N.Z. other than as per Sir Peter's directive that it only be shown on the afternoon of Armistice day, which is when I saw it.

My wife Maggie and I visited the Te Papa, Gallipoli exhibition and were extremely impressed. Along with the Sir Peter Jackson documentary using rejuvenated, colorised film and interviews with survivors the New Zealanders have really done a wonderful job of honouring those who took part in the First World War.
Very well done.
