Field of Honor is a 1987 French movie directed by Jean-Pierre Denis. Winter 1869, to secure the family business, Pierre Naboulet sells his conscription number for a few gold coins so that Arnaud Florent, the son of a stranger escapes military service. In Rheims, he learns the profession of a soldier when war breaks out in the summer of 1870. Pierre finds himself at the front in Alsace, where he escapes the Prussian steamroller that destroys the French army. While searching for French troops in Alsace, he meets a lost child with whom he befriends even though they do not speak the same language.
The following weapons were used in the film Field of Honor:
Rifles
Gras Model 1874
Algerian, Turkish and French troops including Pierre (Cris Campion) use anachronistic Gras Model 1874 rifles standing for accurate Chassepot 1866 rifles.
Percussion Musket
Unknown Percussion Muskets, possibly of French origin, are used by Prussian soldiers which are hard to identify because they are often seen in the background or in fast scenes. Historically correct would be the Dreyse M1862 and M1865 rifles and the limited equipped Potsdam Model 1839/55 musket. A Prussian cavalry unit also uses this long musket instead of the Dreyse M/57 Carbine.
