The film, set to be screened on BBC One Northern Ireland at 9pm, tells the story of Lance Corporal George Hackney who captured scenes from locations on the Western Front where unofficial photography was reportedly illegal.<\/p>\n

The one-hour film, based on the Belfast man\u2019s diary entries, will show soldiers crossing the sea to war \u2013 and relaxing with friends and comrades \u2013 contrasting with life in the trenches.<\/p>\n

The Man Who Shot The Great War<\/em> is also scheduled to be broadcast on BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n

Amanda Moreno, of the Museums of The Royal Irish Regiment, said. \u2018As a collection of photographs of the First World War, they are totally exceptional.<\/p>\n

\u2018In terms of what they tell us about the First World War\u2026 I\u2019ve never seen anything like them before. I don\u2019t suppose I ever will again.’<\/p>\n

Producer Dermot Lavery, of programme maker DoubleBand Films, said: \u2018The full philosophical implications of George Hackney\u2019s remarkable journey from the Battle of the Somme, to the end of his life, only revealed themselves as we prepared to make this documentary.<\/p>\n

\u2018He was, in fact, just a simple modest Belfast man \u2013 but a man whose message still rings true even today. In a way, all we had to do was not let him down.’ <\/p>\n

Hackney donated his collection to the Ulster Museum before his death in 1977.<\/p>\n
