No gaiters ...Thanks for posting this trailer Ralph. No gaiters on the French troops. Trousers not tucked into the boots. Maybe they made a mistake or the costumer thought it looked silly to modern eyes. <br /><br />There are times in history when people see national troops not as "our boys" but as the enemy. Lexington and Concord in 1775. My grandfather was in a National Guard unit in WW One and was called out during the Boston Police Strike in 1919. Fortunately is was to keep order and not fire on people.<br /><br />I'm joking but it seems that they can't make a movie in France without Gerard Depardieu.<br /><br />ScottScott B.
