Czech names mark white gravestones at Brookwood military cemetery. Czech-British soldiers died here in WWII. A bomber crew includes Slovak Pavel, English and Canadian airmen, and Czech gunners Student and Shorty. The white gravestones at the military cemetery in English Brookwood display many Czech names. These were members of the British army of Czech origin who fought here and died for their homeland in the Second World War. The cries of the wounded and dying shift the story a quarter-century back. The crew of one of the bombers is composed of a Slovak captain, Pavel (Svatopluk Matyás), an English co-pilot and navigator, a Canadian radioman and a pair of Czech gunners, nicknamed Student (Jirí Bednár) and Shorty (Jirí Hrzán). —NFA.cz
