Does anyone remember a First World War documentary some years ago when veterans of that war were still alive? I'm afraid I cannot remember who presented it or what it was called but there was a soldier's narrative voiced by the presenter that has stuck in my mind ever since:

"There will never be another war like The Great War, nor the camaraderie or friendship we knew then. I think, perhaps, men are not like that now."

Any ideas?
Thanks

Was it maybe the one about the chelsea pensioners?
I think this is the one where they first discovered Harry Patch. They asked people to send in their experiences and the people in the care home send his name forward. the other older pensioner was on there too. If you look on the BBC Family History site you may find details of it there.
Was it 'The Last Tommy'?
Hey, it was a BBC documentary in 1976, about the Battle of the Somme, narrated by Leo McKern. That particular line comes at the end of the programme - it was something that stuck in my mind too. You can find it on Youtube:
