Extras

A look behind the scenes at costumes, props etc..

This prop was used during the scene where the wife character is given a letter informing her that her husband has been killed in battle.
We researched how wives recieved the infomation informing them of husbands deaths, and normally a telegram would be sent out by a runner boy - and delievered to the next of kin. They were often short and straight to the point, as it would have been wasteful to use more than one sheet of paper thanks to rations.
We just copied a version of one we found online, and as we didn't have an old typewriter, it was written by hand.
