The film's title is taken from the poem "For the Fallen" by English poet Laurence Binyon. The original line is written as "They shall grow not old".
The archival footage was shot in the 1910s, when technology did not yet allow for the combination of sound and image. All sound effects were added later.
The film is based on footage from the Imperial War Museum archive in London – over 100 hours of black and white film, from a time when cinema was still silent. All sound effects were added later.
Actors provide voiceovers for the World War I soldiers in the film. Specialists skilled in lip-reading were specifically hired to try and determine what the soldiers are saying on the footage.
