The Lost Battalion (2001)

"Major, could you read for my Bible?" A badly wounded soldier put his hands on the breast with a bloody Bible. Maj. Whittlesey, got the Bible and found it dipped with blood and unable to be separated. “Almighty God…Let me never be put in confusion…” he hadn’t finished his word till his man was dead. The tale was about a 600-troop which was consisted of men from America, Poland, Ireland and many other countries, against the Germany in WWI. They were separated from their division and in German surrounding. Everyday Maj. Whittlesey collected many dog tags from his dead men. They were forgotten. Even worse, they were shot by their own cannons. All they had to delivery messages was pigeons. They did help them greatly. They insisted fighting and held the battalion. They were told that they would be supported and the French would give them a hand. The support did catch up with them and even their men looking for the French’s backup were killed and never returned. They got lost. They were on their own. Soldiers had no food and tried to get some from the dead Germans in the battle field. They got something to eat and one called the other one. The other one was too excited and stood up. Then bullets came and he fell down. It was a disaster.
They finally were found by the division and got back. Those men got found. Less than 100 or even less was live, I am not sure.
Ps Maj. Whittlesey was a lawyer from America
