'For The Fallen' by Laurence Binyon
Narration, music and video by Karliene Reynolds
Mixed by Nick Dawes www.mixing-mas...
For The Fallen
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.
Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres,
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.
But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;
As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.
". . . I must not allow myself to dwell on the personal, but I do not want to die. Not that I mind it for myself. If it be that I am to go, I am ready. But the thought that I may never see you or our darling baby again turns my bowels to water...My one consolation is the happiness that has been ours. Also my conscience is clear that I have always tried to make life a joy for you. I know at least that if I go you will not want. That is something. But it is the thought that we may be cut off from each other which is so terrible and that our Babe may grow up without my knowing her and without her knowing me. It is difficult to face. And I know your life without me would be a dull blank. Yet you must never let it become wholly so. For to you will be left the greatest charge in all the world; the upbringing of our baby. God bless that child, she is the hope of life to me. My darling, au revoir. It may well be that you will only have to read these lines as ones of passing interest. On the other hand, they may well be my last message to you. If they are, know through all your life that I loved you and baby with all my heart and soul, that you two sweet things were just all the world to me..
I pray God I may do my duty, for I know, whatever that may entail, you would not have it otherwise."
- Capt. Charlie May. 22nd Battalion of the Manchester Regiment. 1888-1916
"how many wasted lives
How many dreams did fade away
Broken promises
They won't be coming home
Oh mothers wipe your tears
Your sons will rest a million years
Found their peace at last
As foe turned to friend
And forgive"
-Sabaton
What is the price of a mile?
@@opalishmoth8591 nearly ;) It is "Cliffs of Gallipoli"

Oh, I just brought up that line from “Price of a mile” because it has the same tone
Thats ataturk though. Those lines inspired sabaton but it is his speech.
"When you go home, tell them of us, tell them For your tomorrow, we give ourselves today" - A British Soldier (WW2)
Thank You for this Karliene. A beautiful Tribute to all who didn’t come home. Including four of my Cousins, three at Vimy Ridge, & a Great Uncle who sadly made it through Vimy, Passchendale & The Somme, but couldn’t defeat The Spanish Flu that ripped through the Troop Ship bringing him back home to Canada. 😢. As I told my Sister, I can’t even begin to imagine the pain our Great Grandparents went through when that Telegram arrived.
There they were, happy he was coming home at last. I’m sure my Great Grandma was busy making all his Favourite Things he loved to eat & Great Grandpa thrilled he’d be there to help w/the Farm again & then.... 😔. We also lost Family in WW II, but not in Battle. My Uncle/Dad’s Brother’s Regiment were being shown how to deal w/this one type of Mortar. Tragically, the one my Uncle Les was dealing was a live round that had slipped through the checks & blew up in his face. 😔
Between me being one of the lucky ones of my Generation, I grew up knowing my WWII Veteran Relatives & sadly, they’re now all gone. I’m beyond grateful for all they taught me & not only will I never forget them, but when I can, also pass on what they’ve taught me. As you said at the end of the video : They are NOT forgotten.
Thank you again for this beautiful tribute.
I feel both pride and sadness for all those fought on my behalf
Me too. They sacrificed so much. And even those that did come home, I imagine they were so scarred and broken by the horrors of war.
Possibly because I was raised in a military family and was brought up with patriotism, I am overwhelmed in this tribute to all the fallen. Even if others of the opposing side committed terrible deeds during the War, they were still our brothers. We all fight for our beliefs and to protect our people. May these strong men find the peace they could not on Earth.
World War 1 is a conflict that seems to be mostly forgotten about these days, so I'm thrilled you decided to upload this. I've been meaning to check out that Peter Jackson documentary as well, I can't wait to see it!
Oh it's so good. I watched it on Netflix. Hopefully it's streaming where you are :-)
@@Karliene There is also very interesting book, on how it all started, by Christopher Clark titled "The Sleepwalkers. How Europe Went to War in 1914"
All in all , a tragic loss , Peace in Europe but at what cost .
A generation lost , we are forever in debt .
A century hence , lest we forget .
A watchful peace. And at a cost of millions of souls. But nothing! We, free people by God's divine providence, will have freedom from socialist tyranny rather than life itself. And we will have it again. They all chose it. It must have meant something to them. How much more should it mean to us, a whole generation that has benefited massively from the prosperity and relative peace wrought by our forbears? We owe it to them to maintain it, even with the blood of patriots who, to this day, willingly spill it on our behalf.
Well, I doubt that WWI was fought to preserve peace. I would rather point to arrogance, pride and blind nationalism. Did anyone really win that war? In my opinion everybody lost to different degrees.
@@xornxenophon3652 Yes, everyone lost to a certain degree. It was inevitable. We all had to sacrifice something. But that's the price we pay to be free. Yes, we won that war. We're not speaking German today, are we? That alone was worth it.
As a decedent of Soilders of at leasr four generations I thank you for this.
So Beautiful God bless our veterans and those who die to keep our Country free
X-annGaming America’s started most of the bloody wars we’ve seen since.
@@vegemiteisavitamin3235 Historically speaking that statement is inaccurate.
as the daughter of a combat veteran, thank you. My father came back from Vietnam, but he was changed forever. Thank you.
_When you go home. tell them of us and say:_
_"For your tomorrow, we gave our today"._
~John Maxwell Edmonds, 1918
Karliene-- as I told ya in the comments for "Boudica", high honors ta ye for raising that great paean to our ancestress the great Celtic warrior queen. A great warrior she was & you are a bard of loveliness, passion & skill.
Thanks from a warrior's heart. I wish you & yours love, peace, health joy& strength.
May ya walk with the Creator.
Well said lass, your family would be proud! Karliene, every year my family lights a candle for those who didn't come home, thank you for sharing.
This brought tears to my eyes. Good job as always!
Thank you so much, x
Today, we remember that 104 years ago, the so called "War to End all Wars" ended today at 11:00am thanks all these wonderful men. While we are happy and thankful that these wonderful people have fought for our freedom just like in the ongoing wars that were to follow, we must not and should not forget those who did not come home.
I might be 26 years old, but I do know that some of these soldiers were merely teenage boys, some as young as 14 or 15. They saw more than what any other teenage boy should have to deal with. But some of these boys died as well. As I said we should not and must not forget those who died for us. Whilst others had come back to England, settle down, had families and moved on with their lives, there are others that are long since gone and only recalled through old recordings or grainy black and white photographs. And so, I will take my hat off and say thank you to all those men and women who fought for us, not just in the Great War, but World War II and the wars that followed afterwards. We all know that a true soldier fights not because he hates what's in front of him but because he loves what is behind him.
Beautiful. Such a beautiful and wonderful homage to the memories and sacrifices of all these men.
Very good the music
So beautiful. There are not words. Thank you very much for doing this Karliene.
Beautiful Karliene . We will remember them always . Thankyou for this , quite moving !
This made me truly emotional Karliene... I am sitting here crying right now, because we take peace for granted. As if it is something as natural as breathing. We often forget that so many soldiers fought for this peace and lost their lives on the battlefield.
They never saw their homelands again.
How many have faced death at a young age? Younger than I am right now.
How many have left wives, brothers, sisters and children behind? Families who often received letters saying that their sons, fathers or husbands died for a greater cause, for their country...Words that couldn't give much comfort to a mother who was expecting to see her son again...
Thanks for reminding us. We all shall never forget how many lost their lives in the past. They weren't just numbers in history books, but living, breathing individuals whose names we do not even know. But they were real. Real people who faced the horrors of war.
My history teacher once said:
"We need to deal with the past in order to understand the present and to build a better future. "
Celine R. So beautifully said! ❤️
@@Karliene Also do we remember the brave Scots: from the Roman times who forced Hadrian to build his wall, to Robert the Bruce & William Wallace; &on to Bonnie Prince Charlie & the victims of the English Crown's bloody- handed Highland Resettlement (from which America so greatly benefited) & on, & on, & on to the Highlander Regiments of WW1, feared by the Hun as "Ladies From Hell", & on to Bernard Law Montgomery's own Highlanders of Normandy renown. God grant you freedom & unity, an it is your desire & His will.
Bless you & your fair land & dauntless folk.
Thanks so much for the music.
Unfortunately there are people that forget in both America and Europe. My family will never forget & I pray we keep the lights of their memories & sacrifices alive for the future
This is so hauntingly beautiful.
One word: mesmerizing
Rest in Peace to every single victim 🕊️💖
Where ever you are now, I am sure it is a better place...
So moving, we shall not forget...
This is really emotional, good job again Karliene. I love listening to you, I don't get bored! Your voice is just so amazing and unique 😭❤
Can't find words to describe my feelings. I just left my heart here❤️
This was really well done! It reminds me of the song "The Green Fields of France" by The High Kings (They didn't write it, but it's the best version I've heard). I would love to hear a cover of that by you. It's the most moving song about WWI that I know.
Thank you from all of us who died fighting for freedom in World War I. That life was long ago and I do not remember all. I was a British soldier fighting for freedom in the jungle in Africa.
My great great grandfather died in this war he will always be remembered
Beautiful...Just beautiful. 👍
From yesteryear till today,soldiers of young brave men and women,never will you nor your sacrifice go unremembered, for we whom are left behind shall remember, Salute,
Unworthy am I to call myself free at the cost of your sacrifice,...Salute
Beautiful Karliene, i Love u 💕
This is why I will always love your videos. Your words pierce even the hardest of hearts. I bow to you.
I have been a student of the Great War for over 30 years, and something about the futility and gallantry of it strikes me to my soul.I was deeply moved by "They Shall Not Grow Old," and I am deeply moved again. May we as a species someday learn that war is not the answer.
Well, that was a gut-punch to the feels.
They Shall Not Grow Old was a fantastic documentary and I'm so excited you did this. It made me cry when I first saw it, one of the most impactful films i've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
Thank you. In memory of Corporal Emerald Coil, US Army1896-1918, The Argonne.
As a Soldier I appreciate this video
Thank you for your Service
@@becrazyyoullloveit9223 your welcome
Thank you so much for your service. x
@@Karliene your welcome
@@michaelgoldman1433 Michael, welcome back. I made it back as well. You are my brother, for you are named among the "we few, we happy few, we band of brothers" & we band of sisters as well-- from
Hyppolyte through Boudica through all the wars 'til now.
We’re celebrating remembrance day soon in Australia; it’s still very fresh in our minds and you’ll often see statues of foot soldiers or men with their mounts that died in the wars.
To look upon them brings a sense of melancholy and nostalgia, but I think we often forget that they were just everyday women and men like ourselves that were put into extraordinary circumstances.
The loss of leaving for war, only to die before ever setting foot back on the land you were born to is perhaps the saddest, loneliest death there is.
I will forever be burdened with the knowledge that the people who died gave their all, and were still seen as expendable by their superiours.
My Great-Grandfather earned the Purple Heart after taking a lucky shot to the calf charging the German lines at Belo Wood with the rest of the Devil Dogs in his platoon. I'm proud to carry his blood in my veins.
Thank you Karliene. Stay Safe.
Karliene, I have formed an unhealthy addiction to your sings and narrations. There's something beautiful in the way you sing; I love how different each piece is. I hope that you gather a future from these wonderful songs. A future I hope to see flourish. Keep doing you!
/salute Thank You For Your Service
I have goosebumps. This is wonderful
The way how you read this is heart-rending. You just show that you are exiting as a reader and as a singer
Beautiful and sad i love it
I am part Irish & a Veteran this is to my Fallen Battle Buddies.....
They Shall Not Grow Old is fantastic and this was absolutely stunning Karliene!
This brought a tear to my eyes, the feeling @Karliene puts into her narration gives this poem that bit extra ooomph, would love to hear you sing ‘I See Fire’, I think you would do such a great song justice, keep up the magnificent work 👍👍
Canadian here, god bless you madam.
A beautiful tribute and a beautiful voice.
Thank you.
A truely gorgeous and beautiful honoring of those past. ❤️
This was so beautiful and heartbreaking
I've never heard the poem in it's entirety before, thank you Karliene
Beautiful as always, a wonderful tribute
Beautifully done! Moved me to tears 💜
so love you for this! your voice is just incredible. thank you
I wish my country would have such respect for its veterans. We blame ourselves for war and in my opinion we often forget that there where people like you and me. They weren’t bad people they just got caught in a senseless slaughter.
On the day we remember our nations warriors, let us be marry sing and boast of our past glories and sorrows, but also let us raise a glass to the unknown soldier for we don't know their tell the deeds they have done the battles they have fought the tears they have weaped for they may never be forgotten, and a last word to every warrior young and old do not gentle into night.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: But they Shall Grow old with me as I shall remember them.
Oh good gracious. I have tears streaming my face. This is the most beautiful tribute to our fallen soldiers.

Reinaldo 31031980 um brasileiro que gosta de Karliene. Espécime raríssimo.
Here is, if someone is interested, a Polish translation which I have made because I was so moved. It's not literal - I rather tried to convey the spirit and atmosphere of the song/poem. I hope you'll like it:
Abyśmy nie zapomnieli
Poległym
Z dumnym dziękczynieniem matki dla swoich dzieci,
Anglia opłakuje swoich umarłych za morzem.
Byli ciałem z jej ciała, duchem z jej ducha,
Polegli za wolność.
Poważnie brzmią bębny, a ich dźwięk przenika dreszczem; Śmierć, dostojna i szlachetna
Wznosi swą pieśń w nieśmiertelne sfery;
Jest muzyka, które dźwięczy pośród pustkowia
I chwała lśniąca w naszych łzach.
Wyruszyli w bój z pieśnią na ustach, byli młodzi,
Z podniesionym czołem, z prawdą w oczach, spokojni i radośni.
Pozostali wierni do końca w obliczu niezliczonych przeciwności;
Polegli z twarzami skierowanym w stronę wrogów.
Nie zestarzeją się jak my, którzy pozostaliśmy:
Nie znuży ich wiek, ani lata nie odcisną na nich swego piętna.
O zachodzi i o poranku
Będziemy o nich pamiętać.
Nie spotkają się już więcej ze swoimi roześmianymi towarzyszami;
Nie siądą więcej przy rodzinnym stole w swoich domach;
Nie mają swojego miejsca wśród pracy naszego zwyczajnego dnia
;
Śpią daleko od piany angielskich fal.
Ale tam, gdzie mieszkają nasze pragnienia i najgłębsze nadzieje,
Spoczywają, niczym źródło ukryte dla oczu,
Najskrytsze serce ich ojczystej ziemi zna ich
,
Tak jak gwiazdy są znane Nocy;
Tak jak gwiazdy, które będą jaśnieć, gdy my zmienimy się w proch,
Maszerują na niebiańskie równiny;
Tak jak gwiazdy, które jaśnieją w naszych ciemnych czasach,
Tak i oni aż po kres, aż po kres pozostaną.
Their armour shall not dull nor rust,
Their flesh shall not decay,
For Tarrant Moss holds them in trust,
Until the Judgment Day.
Their soul went from them in their youth,
Ah God, that mine had gone,
Whenas I leaned on my love's truth
And not on my sword alone!
Whenas I leaned on lad's belief
And not on my naked blade -
And I slew a thief, and an honest thief,
For the sake of a worthless maid.
Sir Lawrence is my great great grandfather
🔥🙌❤
There's no Enemy
There's no Victory
Only Boys who lost their liefs in the Sand.
Young man get sacrificed
Their names are carved in Stone and kept Alive
-Sabaton-
😢🌹🙏
