This was my grandad's favorite song, now my dad's favorite song, and I sang it recently enough in the car one day when he was listening to it. Loved the smile on his face. Good times.
I’m an old man myself these days , but I remember my Gramps telling me a long time ago about his personal battle on Gallipoi , about the endless mud , the lice infected uniforms , the stench of the dead and the dying . I believe he was trying to warn me that war isn’t glorious , but oftentimes miserable . He told me that a close friend literally died in his arms . When will we as humans find another way to solve conflict and disagreements ? My Gramps died in 1965 , still carrying shrapnel he received on Gallipoli .
Dan Windsor I'm an Irish father who has brought up a child from infancy to the brink of adulthood. If the Establishment tried to press-gang him into a foreign war I would do everything in my power to thwart those Godless Bastards.
Remember, they were falsely promised that it would bring home rule...so they thought that they were furthering independence, so we should not be so quick to judge. RIP

You can't even spell right you stupid arsehole. Brave Irishmen fighting for world freedom. They didn't stay at home to drink, smoke and not work. Brave young men. You should be ashamed you tosser
I cried when I first heard this song. I didn't even know Ireland sent troops to Gallipoli. We feel your pain with all our hearts. May the souls of your lost ones rest in peace. Turks never forgets Gallipoli and British cruelty. Everyone who dies because of their cruelty is our brothers and sisters. Love from Turkey. Always.
I remember the day it stands clear in my mind We stood down by Dunlaoire to wave you goodbye Your ma was quietly weeping there was a[Em] tear in her eye As we sent you to Gallipoli to die You looked so young as you stood there a glint in your eye And you sang rebel songs as the streamers flew high Your ma turned away and I heard a sigh God your sailing to Gallipoli to die [Chorus] You were all that we had your mammy and me When you marched head a-rect you were proud as could be And it killed your poor ma and it's slowly killing me You were blown to kingdom come on the shores of Gallipoli We only got the one letter and we knew right away It said deepest regrets your son was bold and he was brave You were only nineteen yet your mammy and I Let you go to Gallipoli to die.

@@wehtam4807 but surely Matt are they not related , remember the English royal family changed their German surname to an English one ,but your royal family are really German,s , anyhow go and study Irish history and see how the Irish has suffered under English rule .
@@danny100ization I'm well aware of the atrocities committed by the English in Ireland and also of the British/German royal family. My point is, in case in you missed it, would the Kaiser have treated Ireland any differently. Also I believe the great war brought forward Irish independence by 20 years. After everything the English no longer had the resources or energy to continue to opposes home rule.
@@wehtam4807 once again you have missed the point , Ireland is not free from England as we speak and the Germans sent guns to Ireland during the war for independence ,old saying in Ireland, England's enemies are the Irish friends.
They were all young men sent to fight old men’s wars, scarred forever if they survived. Horrific things happen in wartime, & not just to combatants. But there was respect on both sides I believe, & Ataturk’s speech can still bring me to tears. My heart aches for the Johnnies & the Mehmets, & sadly it seems we’ve learned little in the last 100 or so years.

Remembering our dead who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the cause they believed in fighting for.
A blood sacrifice for Home Rule
What a song always reminds me of my good friend dollar
Stupenda , scoperta alcuni anni fa in un documentario trasmesso da RAI uno a notte inoltrata
This song is not about nations, it's about peace. WW1 was a terrible, terrible calamity that just did not need to happen.
RIP Slogger, you will always be my hero.
Outstanding band .....
Very sad but sure is true music tells it all
My fav song of all time
Wat a beautiful song that thin whistle .
you mean tin whistle, also called penny whistle. Love from the Hooley Queen (Eileen)

I love the Fureys. Seen them in Milford Haven. Pembrokeshire. Please come again.
Fookin BRILLIANT!
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We shall remember them

British army, conscription by starvation, we had families to Feed
Like the Turks have any right to lecture on cruelty! Does the Armenian genocide and the burning of Smyrna ring any bells?
I remember the day it stands clear in my mind
We stood down by Dunlaoire to wave you goodbye
Your ma was quietly weeping there was a[Em] tear in her eye
As we sent you to Gallipoli to die
You looked so young as you stood there a glint in your eye
And you sang rebel songs as the streamers flew high
Your ma turned away and I heard a sigh
God your sailing to Gallipoli to die
[Chorus]
You were all that we had your mammy and me
When you marched head a-rect you were proud as could be
And it killed your poor ma and it's slowly killing me
You were blown to kingdom come on the shores of Gallipoli
We only got the one letter and we knew right away
It said deepest regrets your son was bold and he was brave
You were only nineteen yet your mammy and I
Let you go to Gallipoli to die.
You fought for the wrong country,you fought for the wrong cause
And your ma often said it was Ireland's great loss
All those fine young men who marched to foreign shores to fight the wars
When the greatest war of all was
Lovely song 🎵 xx
Every summer i am at gallipoli, i hope oneday all of you visit :)
Nice to see Paul . RIP
Along with Fields of France, Christmas 2015, another stark reminder of WW1
Its from the album 'The Fureys & Davey Arthur - Live at Dublin National Stadium'
One of the best Bands every noen What Pleasure to be from Dublin in IRELAND'S 32 ,.
rip kitty her favourite song
British conned the Irish into fighting and dying by promising Home Rule - a promise they never fulfilled.
rapier1954 Farrell they fought well before and after that but yea
No Irishman should ever be in a British uniform, sad time in the nation's history
They fought for money like everything else in this world governed by the shillings pounds and pence innit ?

Gallipoli
(by The Fureys And Davey Arthur).
I remember the day, it stands clear in my mind
We stood down at Dun Laoighaire to wave you goodbye
Your ma was quietly weeping, there was a tear in my eye
As they sent you to Gallipoli to die
You looked so young as you stood there, a glint in your eye
And you sang rebel songs as the streamers flew high
Your ma turned away, and I heard her sigh
For you are sailing to Gallipoli to die
You were all that we had, your mammy and me
When you marched head erect, you were proud as could be
And it killed your poor ma, and it slowly killed me
When you were blown to kingdom come on the shores of Gallipoli
We got only the one letter and we knew right away
It said "Deepest regrets your son was bold and he was brave"
You were only 18, yet your mammy and I
Let you go to Gallipoli to die
You were all that we had, your mammy and me
When you marched head erect, you were proud as could be
And it killed your poor ma, and it slowly killed me
When you were blown to kingdom come on the shores of Gallipoli
You fought for the wrong country, you died for the wrong cause
And your ma often said that it was Ireland's great loss
All those fine young men who marched to foreign shores to fight the wars
When the greatest war of all was at home!
When you were blown to kingdom come on the fields of Donbas
