'Remembrance Day 11-11- 2021"

Today November 11th is "Armistice Day" also known as "Remembrance Day". It marks the day World War One ended, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918.

On this day, I want to share this old article and a video about 'Birdsong’ series 2012. Birdsong is a beautiful love story set in WW1, starring Eddie as Stephen Wraysford, Clémence Poésy as Isabelle Azaire, Joseph Mawle as Jack Firebrace, Richard Madden, along with a wonderful cast. I love this series lot. It's one of my favorite Eddie's series as well as 'The Pillars of the Earth'

I found the link to this article with the latest two photos on Jeremy Banning's Twitter account a few years ago. He's a historian and military researcher specialized in World War I.

When Eddie won the Oscar, on February 23, 2015 he wrote: "Good on Eddie Redmayne winning an Oscar. We took him underground at @LaBoisselleProj before filming for Birdsong" http://t.co/AQ6NnGcPSh

Here's the article link and some related posts: http://www.laboisselleproject.com/2012/01/20/birdsong-by-sebastian-faulks-%E2%80%93-a-two-part-adaptation-by-working-title-television-for-the-bbc-broadcast-sunday-22-january-and-sunday-29-january-2012/

Another article: "Eddie Redmayne is Stephen Wraysford" interview (www.bbc.co.uk/)

"Birdsong’: Before Filming The Series" (January 20, 2012)

"In June 2011 we were joined on site by Eddie Redmayne and Joseph Mawle, the two actors cast to play Stephen Wraysford and Jack Firebrace in the Working Title adaptation of Sebastian Faulks’ novel ‘Birdsong’, a book which has come to occupy a permanent and celebrated place in First World War fiction. Filming in Hungary was yet to start.

LBSG member Peter Barton was Historical Consultant for the production. Because much of the film’s action takes place on the Somme battlefields (Beaumont Hamel) he invited the producers to visit La Boisselle to gain an understanding of the environment and conditions faced by tunnellers working beneath the Picardy battlefields. On Eddie and Joseph’s arrival the nature of surface and subterranean warfare at the Glory Hole was explained.

Trenches were flagged out, and shafts and inclines marked. Guided by Peter, they then went underground through the crown hole that gave access to the 1915 X Incline. They descended to a depth of about 30 feet, reaching the site of the now celebrated poem written in pencil on the chalk roof:

"If in this place you are detained

Don’t look around you all in vain

But cast your net and you shall find

That every cloud is silver lined… Still"

We were delighted to show the actors the site and explain some of the difficulties and dangers endured by the tunnellers. The visit was filmed by LBSG member Mike Fox BSC; some of this footage may appear on the Birdsong DVD.

The experience had a powerful influence on both men. In recent interviews Eddie Redmayne revealed that he wrote the poem, which he described as “hope in the most horrific of circumstances”, on the cover of his script as an inspiration for the role, and as a reminder of the tunnellers and their work in the Glory Hole at La Boisselle..."

Thanks to Jeremy Banning!
