Two perspectives on the same institution.
These two films look at the life of the men serving with the 1st Battalion Light Infantry in Berlin. The enlisted men and the officers give their views, sometimes contrasting, sometimes contradictory, of life in the modern British Army. Ticking with the Crow
A film made by the 'crow' - other ranks. Having just completed a two-year tour in Northern Ireland, where a number of their friends were killed or injured, traumatic memories remain.
The Officers' Mess
A film made with a group of officers. Settling into a new posting is never easy and while the tensions of Northern Ireland remain, the officers have extra problems - the retraining of 'their boys' as they come to terms with the new freedom that
Berlin offers.
