Some good bits for a B movie but oh the cliches. Five miners? Haig had battalions of them digging mines from 1915. He was very keen on the idea . General Plumer was the one in charge of the massive mines at Messines . This shows how great the movie 1917 was . .The generals were not the donkeys this film shows .Haig had hordes of miners working even Canadians and Anzacs The main miner says ' we have to go back We are the only ones who can do it ' Don't make laugh . Theyd been blowing up Germans since 1915 .. And why are British going over the top with no bayonets ??
