King and Country – Für König und Vaterland (1964)
Während des Ersten Weltkriegs liegen britische Truppen bei Passchendaele in Belgien in ihren Schützengräben. Zu den Freiwilligen gehört der junge britische Soldat Arthur James Hamp der als Einziger seiner ursprünglichen Kompanie überlebt hat. Hamp hat drei Jahre in den Schützengräben verbracht und gilt damit als Veteran. Er wurde nie der Feigheit bezichtigt, doch eines Tages beschließt er kurzerhand, den Krieg hinter sich zu lassen und den ganzen Weg nach Hause nach Großbritannien zu Fuß zurückzulegen.
