This award-winning factual series draws on a unique collection of one hundred interviews with World War One veterans in which the soldiers and their loved ones relive all the heroism and heartbreak of the years from 1914 to 1918. Most of these men had never been interviewed before or since. All the voices are now silent.
The declaration of war in August 1914 was greeted with a wave of patriotic euphoria as the British Expeditionary Force was dispatched to Belgium and two million men volunteered for service. War seemed like a glorious adventure. But the experience of battle and the horror of the trenches was very different to what these men expected.

@lestercharles8522 - That is very true. But it is also a matter of... training the brain as it can be "trained" too, and being active too - not just physically but mentally (even with something like doing crossword puzzles, every day reading and so on). You just have to challenge the brain all the time. Plenty of older active people in the academia, where it is quite common for older people to be fully active and have amazing memory (large Universities). A lot actually. Good example was somebody like Linus Pauling or Peter Fenwick. Note: Of course now it could be more difficult to be active as such (mentally), due to all the processed food, artificial stuff everywhere, and pretty much destroying the soil with modern agriculture designed only for profit (and there is some interesting data out regarding the content of vitamins and minerals, in various vegetables - and comparison to those from 20+ years ago; all decreased of course). All of that will actually influence changes in mental abilities, while getting older.

It's polarizing to me.. i'm either all for respecting and remembering them or i curse them for delivering us to where we are today. I don't think its foolish to take into account what the military industrial complex is and has become and where it's going. I understand how we now benefit from global trade and access to resources but i think it's also responsible for some of the chaos today. Whether their sacrafice was for the best or not... how much they could have still contributed to society if they were alive.. i'm sure we lost brilliant minds and cut off a great number of possibilities... sometimes i think of this like the way we prune trees, maybe just like cutting off a branch of possibility - we give life to many more possibilities. We always see progress in all fields of study when its a time of war or conflict so i think my personal concern is just thr fact that there is profit to be made from it for some/few. I wish i could speak to someone who sat on that side of the table so i can gain some insight into why they are able to sleep at night

The properganda was relentless, putting a lot of pressure on the young men of 1914 to do the right thing and join up. Many of them would lie about their age, saying to the recruitment officer that they were old enough to join up due to the heavy losses on the battlefields during the war, the recruitment team turned a blind eye to the number of young boys lieing about being old enough because they needed to replace the dead troops with the new recruits, my grandfather was one of those young boys who fought in World War 1 he was one of the lucky ones, he survived to live to old age, the war had left its mark on him physically and mentally it changed his personality long after his physical wounds had healed.

One anecdote is by the officer of a company, moving forward to go "over-the-top", that stumbles over the sergent supplying their ration, drunk at the bottom of the comm trench. Angry and disgusted, the officer ordered his company to continue forward, all 130 men marching over the drunken sergent, trampling him down into mud, drowning him. That "tot of rum" was important.

I would say yes with a but. When all sides were gearing up for WW1 no one had a clue as to how bad it was going to get. No war in history before WW1 was even remotely like it. Half the generals on the field thought the machine gun would be a minor inconvenience at worse for them. They sent thousands of men marching straight on to their deaths thinking it would all be over in time for tea. I would say, that kind of thinking did more damage than the propaganda. It's unfortunate that no one headed the lessons learned in WW1...20 years later we all had to do it again. Only this time we absolutely had an understanding of what was going to happen and still pushed forward. Not good....had anyone been paying attention to what is happening today in 2024?!

No. We are a gullible, obedient, unthinking species. The psychopaths work their way to the top. The rest is predictable.

EMPIRE! One side wanted a bigger one...the other side wanted to preserve what they had. Everyone from the King/Emperors/Czars on down to the little people wanted the war. Once it started they could not stop it. Nearly everyone cheered when it started. Fools.

You nailed it in one. Pacts and alliances dictated that as each nation joined to support another under fire, more would join.

Worse thing is the have people convinced that dying in war is a great thing, that you’re a coward if you don’t fight for them, people should start telling the WAR PIGS go fight your war yourself and make sure you take your wife and kids with you

Why has Europe created so much war over the course of time?

Until recently, the heaviest concentration of population and differing cultures... That only ever equates to wars.

None of the famous ww1 poets from any nation lived to be 100, some came close but far more died during the war then lived long lives into their 80's or 90's
