The Lost Battalion is a 1919 American silent World War I film about units of the 77th Sustainment Brigade surrounded by German forces in the Argonne Forest. The movie featers many actual soldiers of the Battalion who portrayed themselves. In 2001 the move was remade by Russell Mulcahy.
The following weapons were used in the film The Lost Battalion (1919):
Pistols
Colt M1911
The Colt M1911 is used by American soldiers including Major (then Captain) George McMurtry. A German soldier is also seen fire the Colt.
Rifles
Enfield M1917
American troops use M1917 Enfield rifles in the movie. Which is correct since the Enfield was more massively produced in World War I as the Springfield M1903 was short numbered then.
Beaumont M1871
German soldiers carry rifles with straight bolt handles that appear to be single shot Dutch Beaumont M1871 rifles.
Machine Guns
M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle
The Browning Automatic Rifle is used by a soldier of the Lost Battalion.
Hotchkiss M1914
German soldiers use what appears to be a French Hotchkiss M1914 machine gun.
