That’s not restored audio...that’s a voice over by an actor to match. They used forensic lip readers and other techniques to figure out what was being said then tried to match the correct British accent based on regiment info. Great movie...if you go see it be sure to watch the making of at the end of the credits.

1st "talkie" movie was in the 1920's. Not saying that there weren't recordings before then, but you are firmly in the era of silent movies during WWI.

I just watched the movie. Had to buy it online from Vudu.
It is a great film. That was a horrible war and probably the most important war of the 20th century.

I watched a multi-part WWII documentary recently that added sound to otherwise silent films for the first time throughout the whole series and it was great. They weren't just scenes where one guy was the focus and he was talking or something, they did it with massive battle scenes, troop movement scenes, mechanized corps, and everything.
It was probably the best WWII doc I've seen other than "World War 2 in HD colour" that was kinda the same concept except they colorized black and white film by hand.
ETA - here's the youtube link to World War 2 in HD Colour
I think I saw the first one I mentioned (with the added audio) on Prime Video, am trying to find it currently
