'Century of Army' documentary was interseting up to a point, but the title is somewhat misleading. It goes into great detail about the British Army in the Second World War, but that's about it. It hardly touches on the small bush-fire conflicts which the army was involved in extensively from 1945 to the present. What about Suez, Aden, Malaya etc? And it hardly touched on Northern Ireland or the Falklands conflict. Overall a bit of a disappointment.
I hired this dvd for my husband as he was in the army. This dvd takes you through the story of the army and the wars/ battles of the century
We both found it very intresting and informative some of the information on the dvd we knew about and some we didnt, a good history lesson and makes you think what the army has fought for and so many lives lost, or injured for the country we are today.
