Discuss a film based on the book The Reason Why by Cecil Woodham-Smith. The film followed the book fairly well except for adding the character of Captain Nolan and the stupid love story tacked on.
Be sure to consider and cite specific examples from the film and/or book:
The cartoons are drawn (no pun intended) from contemporary sources such as Punch magazine: what sort of story do they tell?
Life of an army officer
Life of a soldier
The relationship between Cardigan, Lucan, and Ragland
Nolan and the amateur vs. professionals argument
Declaration of war
Course of the war
Attitudes towards the French, Turks, and Russians
