I've spent half the night trying to recall a movie...

"There's a repeat location : a large crucifix/ cross in a misty field - where a platoon Sargent(?) mistakenly shoots a surrendering solider - after an armistice "

(I think the actor be James Coburn or Lee Marvin ?)

I don't think it was 'Cross of Iron' (Cross of Iron has the kids singing laughing bit at the end(?))- 'my movie' may start at the end of WW1 and end at WW2?

- Soldier comes out of mist - gets shot surrendering.
"(not your fault)..You didn't know the war was over"
"no - but he did."
Definitely same 'lone monument' location in repeat scene.

JC may be a red herring - all my heros were 'flint' in the 70's 🙂
