My beloved Uncle Jerry was a stretcher bearer at Ypres... he was decorated and won 3 Rose Clasps. When he came home he was the kindest, most lovely man, a true gentleman........... but every so often he would drink himself into insensibiliy and sleep for 3 days. That's when he was back at Ypres😢😢😢😢😢😢😢.
Remember The sacrifice of the Dead and Wounded Men who served their King, Kaiser, Czar, and President in the bitter Great War of 1914-1918. Allied or Central Powered, Men as tough as the ones who fought in this war aren't around anymore.
Found again! I purchased this song some odd years ago and in the process of moving music from one form to another lost this song to the .mp3 graveyard. Now found again! On November 11 2023 let us take a minute. Let us not forget and let it be "never again".
I can’t imagine what our boys and the Germans for that matter had to go through. Fighting the enemy was bad enough but to have to fight in those terrible weather conditions in the mud drowning in a crater hole filled with rain water
The memories will live on forever in our lives. The bravest of the Brave. They Shall not grow old as we that are left grow old age Shall not weary nor the years condemn at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them. REspect Lest we Forget.
How truly beautiful!! This rips my heart open. My dear grandfather, Albert Frederick Rassmuss, did not participate in this but he was absolutely a member of the AEF and saw heavy combat in France and Belgium in 1917-18. He saw unimaginable horror and suffered from serious PTSD for the rest of his life. I knew him when I was very young and I remember him as a very kind, sweet man with serious sadness behind his eyes. My heart breaks to see these beautiful boys and men sacrificed and thrown into that sickening Hell!
My grandfather was in the horse artiiley and was taken as a prisoner he was lucky to come home his name is on war memorial in Strood Kent as they persomed missing in action
Amazing song and lyrics for all wars ! Visit Flanders and battlefields of Passchendaele, look at graves in thousands and remember those that did not come home !
