When the men sing "Happy Birthday" to Jack, the day before they go over the top. You can tell how moved he is.

The scene between Caroline and Rudyard after learning of Jack's fate. Powerful acting by both, and its heartbreaking to see Haig as Kipling just trying desperately to find some meaning in his son's death.

While home on leave and prior to his departure for France, Jack tells his father that he was scared. Rudyard Kipling replies, "I know." This was such an incredibly solemn scene; especially heartbreaking because we're aware of the outcome.

It's my opinion that both "My Boy Jack" and 1998's "Goodnight, Mr. Tom" are the most poignant British films to air on Masterpiece Theatre (now known as "Masterpiece Classics").

Objection, your Honor. You can't preface your second point with first of all.
