World War One movie: Soldiers shake hands with dead man for good luck SOLVED


British Soldiers are walking through a WW1 trench, showing a new replacement around. In part of the trench, a dead man's hand is sticking out of the wall and the veteran soldiers shake the dead hand for good luck. Anyone know this movie?

B/W or color? when did you watch it?

Color. I saw this movie on TV in the 1990s.

In any case I suggest that you narrow down your search using imdb's advanced search

My first thought was Gallipoli when I saw this days ago, (but I didn't have time to research this until now), which it is:

I hate that imdb got rid of the message boards. If this had been posted there with the traffic the site had, this would have been solved in hours instead of days.
