Default First World War film with Helen Mirren. Title?
Anybody know the name of this film....Set in the first world war. Recruits all from the same estate. Action takes place in Macedonia, I think. Helen Mirren is in it as the wife of the Lord of the Manor. Seem to remember something similar to The Angel of Mons happening....

Was it definitely Helen Mirren? This sounds very like All the King's Men about the Sandringham battalion who were completely wiped out at Gallipoli

Beat me to it Captain that's what immediately sprung to my mind. There is a scene where the whole troop are enveloped in mist and never seen again.

I bought the DVD of ALL THE KING'S MEN recently (excellent production).

andyirvine may be confusing Sonya Walger, who portrayed Lady Frances, with Helen Mirren.
