Ready for action!

Hi everyone.... a know a couple of people wanted to know who made this spot, it was me! I was an extra in the movie, and felt quite close to it, so I thought I'd share some of my experiences of filming... There is loads to talk about, and I have many photos from the Dunkirk set, so I'll probably do this in parts.
Okay, so my first day was getting fitted up for the costume, a standard WW2 infantry outfit. It was very bulky, and slightly woollen, but despite that it was quite comfortable (a welcome break from playing fisherman on my other turns as an extra... there's only so much rubber a man can take!). I had braces on, which I loved to play with, and a couple of water bottles strapped to me, along with a raincoat pouch. It felt really good to wear.
But with all that comfort, something had to be wrong, and that came from the shoes... they were truly something out of the middle ages. Firstly they were too small by at least 1 whole size (I am very difficult with my size 12's), and there was some kind of hard strip inside, which cut into my foot with every step I took... but I didn't complain at all, or let on because I would have been sent home like other...
