Perhaps one of the finest war pictures ever put on a motion picture screen. There is a natural character to the various scenes that seems to stamp them as genuine, and as one sees one after another scene appear and disappear one seems to be living through something actual rather than pictured. The love story is so well told and the acting is so sympathetic that one never loses sight of it for a moment. Yet there are battle scenes which a short time ago would have been considered marvels of motion picture production. The scene in the gorge where the gunners are hurling shells into the ranks of the enemy; the sudden shift of scene, showing the effect of the shells as they strike and burst; the scene in the fort after the final stand, all these are soul- stirring, emotion arousing scenes, and keep one wondering what is coming next. Then the reconciliation of the two men that is indeed, a fitting climax to what is one of the most interesting consistent and altogether pleasing war pictures the writer remembers to have seen. - The Moving Picture World, June 11, 1910
