Elemente esentiale din cotidian: "October, 1918: Trapped behind enemy lines in Charlevaux, France, and surrounded by hundreds of German troops, the few hundred surviving members of the Lost Battalion soon had another problem to deal with in the form of friendly fire. His men rapidly succumbing to the onslaught and with two birds already shot down, Major Charles Whittlesay dispatched a frantic message by way of their last surviving homing pigeon, 'Cher Ami': WE ARE ALONG THE ROAD PARALELL 276.4. OUR ARTILLERY IS DROPPING A BARRAGE DIRECTLY ON US. FOR HEAVENS SAKE STOP IT."
Parerea mea personala: O poveste destul de emotionanta, e ceva ca un porumbel sa salveze viata a 197 de soldati si mai ales sa scape cu viata dupa ce a zburat 40 de kilometri plin ploaia de gloante a nemtilor.
