Pretty sure this is from the movie Wings (1927)

see the background hills at 0:47.

Uh, that's a movie...it's not real.

Regardless - it's still pretty poignant. Regarding real footage, there's some footage filmed on the first day of the Somme that's regarded as the 'first' battle footage in existence

 

[Troy]

Uh, that's a movie...it's not real.

Naw some shabby youtube channel that is but still I'm speechless!

 

[VonMudra]

I guess I don't see the poignancy, considering that looks very little like what actual WW1 combat was (this is just random hordes of guys charging every which-way....)

Noone passes the Mudra test... Noone :'( Out of curiosity what film is it actually from?

 

[VonMudra]

As KS Otto posted above, it's most likely from the movies Wings, from 1927.

 

[Troy]

Hm, someone must watch that film to clarify, but it looks like it is from that film!

[VonMudra]

Yes, that is real footage
