Schofield’s Wound Stripe

“Blake heaves him to his feet - his uniform is identical to Blake’s, same rank, the only difference is the brass wound stripe on Schofield’s left sleeve.“

“A wound stripe is a distinction of dress bestowed on soldiers wounded in combat. It was typically worn on military uniform jackets.”

“The award of a stripe to soldiers who had been wounded during the war was authorized by Army Order 249 of 6 July 1916. This order allowed those who had appeared in a War Office casualty list to sew a two-inch stripe of gold Russia braid onto the left sleeve of their service jacket.”

“Officers and men reported ‘wounded – gas,’ or ‘Wounded – shock, shell,’ are entitled to the [WOUND STRIPE].“

BLAKE: Was it like this before Thiepval? 

The name does something to Schofield. Fear clings to him. He pushes it away. 

SCHOFIELD: I don’t remember.

BLAKE: You don’t remember the Somme?

SCHOFIELD: Not really.

“In August 1916, coincidentally a month after the massacres on the battlefields of the Somme, the British Army began issuing wound stripes to Allied Soldiers and Officers who had been wounded in combat or campaigns since 4th August 1914″

Hey so that scene in 1917 where the protagonist reached the batallion and he hears someone sing wayfaring stranger and you see all the soldiers from their backs only for the camera to turn and let you see that most of them are in their late teens. Yeah

obsessed where stories where it is like. the mistakes are unfixable and the worst thing that could happen happened and nothing can go back to how it was. but there was still love in this and love will continue after this and love endures always. - @currentlycryingaboutlancelot

Ough just thinking abt how Blake was always doomed to die, from the beginning. The first shot we see of him on his back is direct foreshadowing to the final shot we see of his corpse. In so many scenes Scho is ahead and Blake is left behind, or behind a wall, or somewhere out of sight because he isn’t going to make it home… "he travels the fastest who travels alone-"

and… Scho. Scho is the one who makes it to the end, when from the beginning you’re made to think he won’t. He’s lost all hope. He hated going home. It’s just a bit of bloody tin. He fought in the Somme and earned a wound stripe and now his eyes are empty. So many times there are implications that he will die. He cuts open his hand on rusted barbed wire and plunges it directly into a rotting corpse and has nothing more than a dirty bandage to wrap it with. He nearly suffocates in the explosion in the German trench. He’s dead on his feet, simply existing, not living at all. But Blake is so full of life, so cheerful, so determined to save his brother, so convinced the best will happen. For him the mission is personal. Surely he will live. Surely. But he doesn’t. He dies, scarcely halfway through the film. And it’s Scho, who had no personal motivation in he and Blake’s mission, who wished Blake had chosen someone else, who’s left to carry it out. He goes from being cynical, beaten down, hopeless, to finishing the mission, because Blake is dead and now Scho must live for him. He promises Blake he’ll save his brother. He’ll write to his mum. He’ll tell her Blake wasn’t scared. He’ll make it to Croisilles Wood, and he’ll save those 1600 men who are going to their deaths.

And he does. Because he won’t let Blake’s death be for nothing. He won’t. He finishes the mission not because he has to, but because he wants to. For Blake, because he died too young.

And in the end he sits and he breathes and he thinks about his wife and his two girls, and he thinks about Blake, who was so full of life but had it torn from his grasp at nineteen. And Scho was so empty of life for so long, because what was the point in hoping when he could die at any moment, when the horrors of war were permanently etched in his mind and heart? But in the end, under the tree, he chooses to live. Not simply to exist, but to live.

And it’s just…I just think it’s beautiful
