nice. Those older shows you linked I guess  are from the 1960's BBC and they have the  actual soldiers interviewed.

I believe the series is titled "The Great War". It has to be my favorite series of videos concerning a World War as it shows the privileges, problems, strengths, weaknesses, agendas and fears of EVERYBODY involved. Yes, there is some borderline propaganda, but its very limited, which I like. It provides more perspective.

The "Trench Warfare Begins" videos above includes highlights of:

1. The First Battle of the Marne

2. The Siege of Antwerp

3. First battle of Ypres.

4. Austria's war with Serbia

5. The British Empire enlisting its colonies to fight for the crown. 

6. Sven Hedin's observations

7. The famous peaceful exchanges during Christmas and carols sung between enemies in the trenches
