    Based on a true story, the made-for-cable feature The Lost Battalion is set in 1918 during the final months of WWI. Assigned to capture an enemy stronghold in Charlvaux at the height of the Argonne campaign, the men of the AEF 308th Battalion, 77th Division, are led by young American major Charles Whittlesey (Rick Schroder), an inexperienced but dedicated "citizen soldier." Totally cut off from the other allied troops, unaware of their vulnerability, and barraged by "friendly fire," the 500-plus men of the 308th bravely hold their position, suffering incredible losses and unspeakable deprivations in the process -- while the battalion's superior officers, far from the firing line, callously prepare to write off the men as expendable casualties. Fairly graphic and horrifying by basic-cable standards, The Lost Battalion was filmed on-location in Luxembourg, and made its American TV debut courtesy of the A&E Channel on December 2, 2001.

    April 05, 2006: Wow, This film is my favorite WWI movie, and one of my favorite war movies. The acting is great, the attention to detail with the weapons and uniforms is great. The Germans actually speak german, as opposed to some war movies, and the drama of the characters and the situation is really well shown. It is a great view of the Germans also, as we see their commanders and their feeling and thoughts of toward and of the Americans. The dialogue is great and the last scene when Whittlsey and the men ambush and charge the Germans is just amazing. One of my favorite war scenes ever. It really gets the adrenaline going!! 5 stars.

    March 14, 2005: If you are looking for a good movie that will depict the fighting during the WW1 era then this is the movie for you to pick up. Often shown on the A&E channel this movie really moved me in everyway. I would really sincerely recommend watching this movie just to get a sense of what these men had to go through to come out victorious.
