And we're still struggling for that better tomorrow.

@@mrnobody1067 LEST WE FORGET.

No more brother wars

The last sentance just isnt true unless you also consider that all "English" servicemen that gave their lives to help found and secure your country shouldnt have done so. Prehaps you just wanted to be left alone to murder aboriginal in peace. World politics os more complex than that and you sound like a taker not a giver or even an equal participant. Hope you have a happy Christmas in a free land that many worked to secure.

If the Kaiser invades England,England would have to rely on its Empire for help

@@anthonycaruso8443 England has no empire left. England can't control itself let alone and empire. Even a lot if Scots and Welsh don't see themselves as British anyone. As a old man I wouldn't encourage any Australian to fight to protect England. When did they defend Australians.

It's what the British soldiers sang on the Western Front during World War One. It was part of how they dealt with living, fighting, and dying in the Trenches.

A haunting poem about the horrors of the Western Front

rhetorics

Saying they died for freedom... You know very little of WWI, eh?

RIP, Sir Thomas Baird! Thank you for your service!

this comment hits different

Not this generation, who take everything for free, for granted. So sad.

@@bich-nganguyen5232 nonsense

@@bich-nganguyen5232 @Every generation says and thinks that of the next, and to be frank, the men go the lost and greatest were one of a kind. Men cut from the Victorian tradition thrown into modern combat. They grew up on the idea of self sacrifice and honor, and they threw their lives not because they were trying to secure a better position for themself, or for their country, but because they were, as the song above suggests, here. I think that if ever in my lifetime should the call to arms should be raised, and the greatest threats to our ways of life are raised, we may see the laziest of people shirk duty. But there are those who will receive this call and go forth into hell, because they’re here Look at Ukraine in ‘22. There were videos of 18 year olds being drafted and going into the trenches for their country when the time came. It isn’t every day you see people going out and dying like they did. It takes that darkest hour to bring out the people who possess that heart of oak, and soul of steel

Hopefully, we never have to.

They can't have weblys (CORRECT MY SPELLING) or Lee Enfields because they are weapons

You wouldn't have heard them above the exploding shells and machine gun and rifle fire.

They would not have yelled while on the attack

@@PatrickTyrrell-jd5zy yes they would. You are taught to yell as you charge this has a few effects, 1 it increases your adrenaline, 2 it confuses the enemy, 3 it heightens your anger, 4 no one here's you scream when you have your arm shot off, 5 you don't hear the dying die.

@@PatrickTyrrell-jd5zy Depends on regiment. The highlanders have a tradition of yelling when they go into the attack.

No sorry, but you can google it if you want. "We're here because we're here melody" or smt

Never mind! I found it! It's Auld Lang Syne

@@thug2217 was gunna say you can tell that by how they were singing, but you found it

Chaps at Agincourt would disagree

@@jamestodd1104The term “Lions led by donkeys” was well before WW1 also.

Crecy? Jenkin's Ear? Bechuanaland?

Tbh not ww2 really. France 1940, Singapore, initially in Burma were all disasters

@@timcahill4676 Not really the fault of the men though. Britain also had some great wins against all odds in WW2. The Battle of Britain probably being the standout.

Yes they need to be politically correct and rewrite history.

How about we remember the millions upon millions of British who died in the great war. The biggest non-British contributor to the war was India and they still lost less men than Australia and New Zealand ANZAC forces despite the major population difference. Non-British contribution to Britain was minuscule and definitely not out of voluntary love for the Empire and it's people, all of whom were were of British stock.

The point is not to recreate, the point is not to forget

They were allowed to serve, just like Indians and Asians from Other British colonies. They just wore different uniforms and were in seperated regiments back then.

@EvrenChan exactly

James Reidtabo nice cliché you got yourself there

Actually not Really it wasn't it was a Very Brave Small British Army that actually STOPPED The German Advance at Mons Check it out After that It was for sometime A Mirror Image of The Boer War(both of them)The Prussian/French 1970 The American Civil War Just Exactly As The Coming War will be

@@gopr3117 It was often true, especially at the Somme.

Thats insulting to donkeys
