Rachel Wagstaff, who adapted the movel, commented: “Birdsong is in an incredibly powerful novel, and through the story of Faulks’s fictional characters, we can understand what it might have been like for individuals caught up in this most extraordinary period of world history. Given the approaching centenary, it seems more important than ever that the courage and sacrifices of those who fought and fell for future generations are not only remembered, but understood.  Lest we forget; lest we let suffering on such a scale ever happen again.”
