This video presents the findings of the Dig Hill 80 archaeological excavation project in Wytschaete, Belgium. The project focused on remarkably intact World War I trenches and was funded in part by viewers of Forgotten Weapons. The presentation, attended by the video creator, details the historical discoveries made during the spring and summer of 2018. Donations are still being accepted to finalize cataloging and publications, particularly due to the unexpected recovery of human remains impacting the project budget.
This video offers a unique experience by recreating a World War 1 battlefield, including trenches, to provide a tangible sense of what soldiers endured. While not a traditional firearm review, the context of a historical battlefield implicitly relates to the firearms of that era and the broader history of warfare. The video also briefly introduces the creator, Brandon Herrera, as the owner of AKG Industries, a firearm manufacturer, and co-founder of Premier Gun Club, who designed the AK-50 rifle. His channel aims to document his entrepreneurial journey, offering insights into business growth and strategies. The recreation aims to foster appreciation for the sacrifices made during WW1.

It aims to educate viewers on the conditions faced by soldiers during the Great War, with a particular focus on the harrowing experience of chemical warfare.
This film, 'Fallen' (2009), is a short drama inspired by Wilfred Owen's poem 'Dulce Et Decorum Est'. It depicts the final moments of a World War One soldier.

While not a direct firearm demonstration, the historical context of World War One implies the use of period weaponry.
