A chilling account of Baxter's life during WW1. I watched the film but I had to look away in various scenes. I enjoyed this film despite the cruel acts and what the film was about. It makes me shudder as I type.

I saw this film just a few days ago and it hasn't left me. It would appear that none of the soldiers who were ordered to commit these atrocious acts could do anything to stop it. The officers who had the ability to stop it just condoned it. I would rather be shot than live with the fact that I had assisted in it. It doesn't seem to matter who you are, the level of education that you have achieved, or the rank that you've been given - we are all capable of horrific cruelty to one another. Why? I don't expect that any of the men that committed these crimes were ever delivered the justice that they so deserved. Were they considered heroes? Will we ever learn? Baxter and his compatriots were so right. They did everything they could to stop it.

I cannot believe that we could be that cruel to a fellow human being. We should be ashamed of ourselves.

Chris Pugsley said the British had to intervene on behalf of Baxter to stop him being killed. What a disgrace.
