I had hoped for more but suspected as much. The Walcheren Causeway is the "signature" battle of the Calgary Highlanders in the Second World War. The trailer made it look like at least they got the setting right - even the telephone poles looked like the actual battlefield, which I've walked. Ah well.

Unfortunately this is a movie best forgotten as it was so bad that even my wife who only has a passing interest in historical details could easily find the holes in the plot.
