Passchendaele - Lest We Forget
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 พ.ย. 2012
- A video I created for rememberance day for my school assembly, in honor of the men (from all sides) that had perished during the Great War.
Film: Passchendaele; is a 2008 Canadian war film, written, co-produced, directed by, and starring Paul Gross. The film, which was shot in Calgary, Alberta, Fort Macleod, Alberta, and in Belgium, focuses on the experiences of a Canadian soldier, Michael Dunne, at the Battle of Passchendaele, also known as the Third Battle of Ypres. The film had its premiere at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival on September 4, 2008, when it also had the honour of opening the festival, and it was released widely in Canada on October 17, 2008.
Song: Sgt. MacKenzie; Joseph MacKenzie wrote the haunting lament after the death of his wife, Christine, and in memory of his great-grandfather, Charles Stuart MacKenzie, a sergeant in the Seaforth Highlanders, who along with hundreds of his brothers-in-arms from the Elgin-Rothes area in Moray, Scotland went to fight in the Great War. Sergeant MacKenzie was bayoneted to death at the age of 35, while defending one of his badly injured fellow soldiers in the hand-to-hand fighting of the trenches.
Rememberance Day; (also known as Poppy Day or Armistice Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries since the end of World War I to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. This day, or alternative dates, are also recognized as special days for war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries.
My grandfather was in the whole mess for 4 years , he survived, that is why I am alive today.
WW2 may have had more deaths, but nothing matches the absolute terror that these men went through, being in a trench or shell hole filled with water and blood, not knowing if an artillery shell is gonna rip you apart, being scared if the attack if gonna happen, none of us can truly know what they fully went through
This was the civil war with higher caliber bullets. Pretty much every single war before this was absolutely terrifying
My Grandfather was there , wounded twice survived and came home . Unfortunately as an unskilled man he couldn’t find work so as a last resort he went back out there after the the war 1918 to work for the war graves commission to dig up the bodies and bits of bodies so these incredible men could be properly and rightfully buried . One can not imagine what it would have been like digging through the mud, detritus and body parts.
Not long after his return to England and a number of violent incidents he was committed to a secure Hospital , the whole ordeal of what he had been through in the war and working for the war graves commission proved far too much for any one man to bare.
My beloved Grandpa died aged 56 , his mind and body broken from his experiences.
It is with great regret I never got to meet him I would so loved to have hugged him, told him how much I loved and admired him.
I have been back with my Dad ( also gone now ) to Hill 60 and the beautifully kept cemeteries, it is must for everyone. It was the most humbling experience of my life and left a deep impression on me as it does anyone who visits there.
It’s impossible for any of us to comprehend what all those dear souls went through and I pray that one day the world we love will know everlasting peace .
RIP Grandpa EHR.
Well stated, young man. God Bless your Dad and Grandfather.
Thank you ....just wished I could have had the opportunity to hug my dear Grandpa ..all I have is a very tatty picture of him.
@@MrDallman Your write up was enough. A little remembrance and recognition goes a long way for us Vet's. God Bless ya', Pal...
@@carterstewart9142 Appreciate that , stay save my friend.
Like you, my grandfather was there. The 1st Canadian. A New Brunswick - known as the Kilties. He and 3 of his brothers went. Each cycled thru the hospitals. In late 17 - he was in England for flight training. No one knows how dangerous flying was. 21 started - He was the only graduate - a night fighter. Against the odds - all 4 brothers came home. Nov 11 was the only day he allowed himself to drink. Cheers to yours and them!
My Great Uncle is sleeping there. He fell with his comrades, ordered to retreat and decided to stay.
He was mentioned in despatches twice and received a medal for gallantry.
Less we forget
Sounds like he should’ve listened ...
My great grandfather fought at Paschendale with the 8th Battalion 1st AIF. He enlisted on the 22nd of August 1914 and embarked 2 months later in October 1914. They didn't get much training. He fought at Gallipoli in 1915 and then on the Western front from 1916. He faught at Poziers in the battle of the Somme, at Ypres in Flanders, Amiens and quite a bit more. The battle honors of the 8th Battalion is quite a long list. He returned to Australia alive, one of the very few of the original enlistees to survive the entire war and return home. He passed in 1951
My grandfather served at Gallipoli too. A cousin of mine from the UK recently sent me a photo of a Turkish military prayer rug that my grandfather brought back and had given to his family in the 1930's.

Rest easy fellas.
Your work is done. We will be forever grateful
There's never such a thing as a good war, but WWI in particular must surely be the worst war in history. The sheer brutality, the number of lives lost, the futility of it, and the failure of leaders on both sides to see reason and put a stop to the madness makes this war the greatest tragedy in history. Rest in peace to the brave souls on both sides who fought and died.
My father referred to it as The Great War to my great grandfather. He replied with this. Do not ever call it a war. It was not a war. A war is fought by civilized men with rules of engagement on both sides. Now learn. This was nothing more than a carnage of good men, a slaughter of fine good men, on both sides. Imagine a battlefield rained on fourteen days and nights, that is a quagmire of mud and water filled trenches and shell holes, and living in that while under attack, but imagine more so that that battlefield is a sea of men's spilt blood. This was Passchendaele. That is what it was. My fathers face went white, and the tears streamed down my great grandfathers face as he recalled all that had happened there. Hand to hand fighting with Germans in trenches. Bayonetting Germans through the guts. Shooting Germans, men's bodies split open by shell fragments, wounded men crying out, left to die and drowned in shell holes. But more so now, on reflection, the sheer damn waste of it, and the great remorse for taking the lives of men, fathers, husbands, sweethearts, sons of mothers and fathers, taking all they had and ever could have from them. My great grandfather always carried that with him like a burden on his soul. Like he said, at the time it was him or me, but now I understand what I did and it saddens me. My God, we cannot even begin to imagine what these soldiers suffered in that place. Is it any wonder that many of them never really opened up about their experiences. God bless them each and every one for their contribution in that hell. I knew some of them. Good solid men, no nonsense men, with ideals and a respect for life coming from being battle hardened and the suffering they sustained in that slaughter. Never ever to be forgotten.
The great war was by far the most horrific
My Grandfather was a pre war British Regular serving with 1st Btn Royal West Kents. He arrived in Belgium with the BEF in 1914. When he was interviewed in 1990 just before he died, he stated to the interviewer as a professional soldier, the troops he admired the most had been the New Foundlanders and the Canadians. He said you could always rely on them to do what was needed.
It was the first time I ever heard him speak of his experiences. He never attended November 11th ceremonies, he said to the interviewer, it was because it brought back memories of too many friends lost.
He sounds like he was a great man RIP 🇬🇧
Damn bro
@@bryanthardin8481 He was a very scarey man when when I was young, very stern and intense. It was my job on a sunday to go an buy his cigarettes. I remember saying to him once, that the cigs would kill him, He replied " The hun tried for four years and I'm still here" I have his 1914 star with Bar, British war medal and Victory medal.
@@keithpeacock6048 my great uncle was 50 caliber machine gunner on top of a Sherman tank and stormed the beach with the rangers at Omaha. He took a piece of shrapnel to the side of the head and according to my dad he spent the rest of his life rocking silently in a rocking chair staring at a TV. He ended up killing himself and his wife in the '80s.
Respect and Thanks to your Grandfather on this weekend of Remembrance from a UK Vet. We are Legion. We are One. We NEVER Forget.
My dear late father withstood much of the same ordeal in combat in the Pacific Theatre in the 2nd WW. He was wounded twice & decorated w/2 Bronze Stars (2nd Award). Dear Dad's terrible malady didn't surface until some years following his combat experience(s) which hospitalized him for over 2 years @ 2 separate VA hospitals, dealing w/that mental anguish he'd undergone. A brave, intelligent, but broken man, I so miss him w/all my heart!
great great film... this is dedicated for our boys in ww1.. to the fallen, sleep well boys and thank you for all you've done for our country.
Britain thanks 🙏 your country bro. God bless the nation of Canada 🇨🇦. The guys who got shit done. Thank you!
donald hill much respect brother, thank you and you're very welcome.
movie was piece of shit shouldve been more about i dont know WW1 and the trenches not some bull shit love story
Im in the CAF and this was a good edit of the movie
@@donaldhill5685 that's why it's a massive disrespectful slap in the face that our sissy idiot prime minister changed the words to our national anthem! It used to say "in all thy son's command" which is in there due to the BOYS, teenaged boys saved the world! Like Brittain we have never had conscription so as an homage to the young heros that saved the world the anthem had that one line in it. Now it says "in all of our command" because sexism ffs!
These “Canucks” had balls of steel and fought with integrity and honor. Semper Fi Canada.
Now cuntada is a pathetic example of what once was
In both world conflicts we sure did earn our spot and proved that we were a highly skilled and strong force.
@matthew stone let’s see where your from and stop criticizing other countries also big tip keep your mouth shut
HOW is my comment that said "integrity and honor" and men with "Balls of steel" is seen by you as criticism???

Possibly the finest short film I have ever viewed. So many of my emotions were dancing everywhere. One moment you are in the middle of utter carnage, the next, you are holding a dying soldiers hand. The beautiful pipe band and delightful vocals during the arm to arm combat scenes simply melted my heart. Powerful. Dramatic. A film that spoke volumes. Flawless. Thank you so much for this amazing posting.

My uncles great grandpa (I say it like that because he isn’t my blood relative he’s my dads friend we just call him uncle) fought and died in Paschendaele. May he rest in piece and all the soldiers who fought there, it was a bloody battle.
That’s bloody awesome, a real account of the hand to hand fighting by our Canadian brothers, respect
I've been to Ypres in Belgium, seen the war museum, battle grounds and graves. I've walked in the trenches and can imagine the horror. It's not far to visit from the UK. It takes longer to get to the tunnel than tunnel to Ypres. It's a must go see destination.
My granddaddy was there and he told me war is hell love is peace.
God bless the Canadians. Jim Harrison. Cheshire. UK.
I love watching these vids from the comfort of my bed
My great grandfather was there! God bless all those lads who died in and survived that hell.
My great-grandfather's father died in the Argonne.(I assume, I never heard much of him other than he was the only one to die in combat out of my father, uncles, great uncle, and grandfather/great grandfather who all fought in the wars from WW2 through the Gulf)
Respect to your great grandfather.
@@richardmcdonald9418 As a lad, I knew them. How? Back in the 60's there were still plenty of WW1 veterans around. A man dressed in light grey trousers, light grey tank top, and a white shirt, who daily, come rain, snow, hail, or blow, passed under my bedroom window up the street going to the local newsagent to obtain the paper for the days horse racing. Nothing unusual about that, except his right leg was missing from the hip down. He lost it on the Somme. His trouser leg neatly folded up and held with a safety pin. You could hear him coming by the sound of his crutch. What memories he could have retold if I had asked him, but sometimes better to keep quiet. For some those memories were too painful even to think of, no matter recount. Then the chap down the row of terraces. In the Summer, his bedroom window open and the yellow curtains billowing in the breeze. But more memorably the incessant coughing and wheezing that could be readily heard from the street. Mustard gas had destroyed his lungs. Then, on a Sunday, great grandad would go down the local pub, timed to arrive about noon, where he met up with his mates and sank a few before going home to the Sunday roast dinner. I was towed along. Most of them had been in WW1 too. Down to earth fellows. One day I was looking at all the CO2 bubbles rising in one chaps beer glass, trying to count them. Say's the chap, 'What yer doin'?', so I told him. 'Aye', he said, 'And if for every one of them bubbles ten men dead on the battlefields in WW1, we could sit here all day counting them and still not meet the number of men fallen.' I looked in astonishment, 'Still' said the man, 'It's a good job they are just bubbles isn't it?' I nodded, 'Good lad' , and he took a big gulp. Great grandad brought his rifle back with three live rounds. The rifle was handed in to the police in a weapons amnesty in the 1920's, but I found the rounds later in the 1980's in a box of old junk. I then discerned from my father that great grandad had held to the aspersion that the end of WW1 was only the end of round one. Round two was yet to come, and as it turns out, he was right. So, three rounds. One for him, one for great grandma......and one for the first German down the street. This gives you the feel of how these fellows were. No nonsense men, hardened in battle. Fellows who had fought hand to hand in trenches with the Germans, shot Germans, and bayonetted Germans in the guts. Men who had witnessed indescribable carnage. If you tried it with one of them, they would not hesitate, they would not back off. Good men. The salt of the earth. Thank goodness they stood up and were counted when Britain needed them. I owe them everything I am now. Without their contribution the UK would have been crushed under the heel of Germany.
@@MrMoggyman I read every word of your story, and I agree, to be in their presence must have been quite an experience and humbling. I was born in the 90's so by the time I understood what happened in that war, most - if not all - were dead. I remember in my 11th grade history class, our teacher announcing the death of the 'last' doughboy that fought in World War I. From that point, I read "Johnny Got HIs Gun" and it sort of messed me up; I didn't expect a book to scare the shit out of me the way it did.
Anyways, it was nice to hear your experience with them. Let's hope those wars don't happen again.
@@richardmcdonald9418 I agree, and they agreed. The war and the suffering that they had endured should never be imposed on any other soldier or civilian again. My great grandfather was always appalled at any form of loss of life shown on TV, from whatever cause, and there is something else my great grandfather always disagreed about too. Whenever anyone called it a war or went on about 'glory' in WW1 he said this, 'It was not a war. That's wrong. Wars are fought by civilised men on both sides with rules of engagement. This so called 'war' was nothing more than a despicable carnage of good fine men, on both sides. A slaughter of good men, a sea of blood. Men shot to bits, men maimed for life, men blown apart, their guts strewn all over the battlefield, stinking rotting human flesh everywhere. Where's the glory in that? In future leave the soldiers and civilians out of it. Get the kings and the kaisers, put boxing gloves on them, put them in a ring, and let them sort it out between themselves. Why should the common man have to pay with his life for the idiot disagreements between monarchs that should know better.' He additionally told me, 'Lad, I were young and daft once, and I decided to volunteer for a bit of an adventure that turned out not to be an adventure at all, but a case of life and death. So here's a word of advice for you to remember, never volunteer for anything.' So many memories like this. I additionally agree with Erich Maria Remarque (who was with the German army on The Western Front). In his book All Quiet on The Western Front, he notes, 'Death is not an adventure for those who stand face to face with it. Although they had survived its shells and bullets, this was a generation of men lost to the war.' True words. All the WW1 veterans I knew could never wipe it from their minds. It followed them to their graves. God bless those men. They had survived hell. But God bless more those lads who never returned. They gave everything so that we can have what we have today.
@@MrMoggyman Well said sir; thank you.
My father was in Korea, Australian, reckoned the princess Patricia's were hard core,much respect Canada
Superbly done . Shows the horror without the glorification that so many films do. My great grandfather survived Gallipoli and then died in the Somme. May he and his comrades rest in piece. Thank you for uploading.
"...Reserve matches..." damn! The camaraderie was incredible!
"I died in Hell - they called it Passchendaele."
This short film is going to haunt me for a very long time.
i felt so bad for the blue eyed german kid that had gotten stabbed in his skull
The Mighty God is taking care of their souls! All the best from Romania.
My grandad fought in 3 hell holes the somme cambrai and Flanders wounded twice came home
David Baxter damn that is extreme Luck damn...
Holy shit, god only knows the nightmares he brought home with him.
88 percent of the British army survived that war.
My great grandfather was there and lost the use of his right arm. When he came home he had to learn how to draw with his left hand since he was an artist.
love the use of recreated still images --- nice touch
I was crying because they took there lives for us rip to those men

Nice job-- one of my favourite films of all time and you kept the spirit of the film, the pointlessness of war, intact.
War is always futile. It has never created lasting peace-- only periods without war.
@gorgoblin Like American bitch around with:
America did best in the war
Without America you would of lost
Most of it is wrong to say, but American aided Britain with artillery pieces so that part makes sense, right?
gorgoblin yes and no
New Zealand's biggest loss of life in one day was at Passchendaele .Onward -for our Canadian Brothers too. Onward is the battle motto of the New Zealand infantry.In the early 1908' my home was Dieppe barracks Singapore .
Rest in peace brave men for we haven’t forgotten you even though our politicians never learned
The day they learn is the day they are in the trenches..
Looks like they'll never learn.
Everyone always repeats this shit about the politicians being bad as they always make people fight in useless wars. World War 1 was one of the few wars that America and definitely Canada was forced to get involved in.
That was the most moving film i have ever seen in my life i tip my hat to you gentleman.
Let us all never forget. Thx for vid.
I like this more so than the 90 min sap fest version. Good job broski!
My Great Grandfather was there. He fought I the trenches for one of the Loyal Irish Regiments. He was shot once and came back again. He was a machine gunner. Story- He was the 4th of 5th machine gunners. All of the others got shot and he was up. He got shot in the stomach and unfortunately they fought he was dead and he couldn't get up. They went around after the battle and picked up all of the dead bodies to find that he was still alive. He came back after they patched him up to end the war without being touched. Story 2- An enemy soldier was shooting at him every time he peaked over the trenches. So he asked to return fire with 5 rounds. He shot BANG! BANG! and the enemy soldier never looked up again. He is my true hero I cannot thank you enough Private Edward Roche♥️.
Rip uncle Edwin who died in passchendaele 🇨🇦❤️
The only stormtroopers capable of actually shooting accurately.
"Jerry's best"
You godamn right
I guess all that hunting paid off.
24:45, that song was also played in the movie "We were soldiers".
i knew i recognized it
yeah but the song is about the scots fighting in ww1
The song is titled "Sgt. McKenzie " Look it up, it's easy.
Moving, unsettlingly realistic, beautiful delivery of tragedy, sacrifice and heroism. Bravo! One of the best I've witnessed.
Thirty minutes of pure emotion.
Well done Sir. You condensed the 90 minutes into thirty, and reinforced the same point Paul Gross had intended. Hope he appreciates it. This from an Army veteran of the Black Watch Canada (Regular Force) and PPCLI for 34 years. Do some more please.
WW1 was insanity! I've read a few books and listenend to hardcore history but nothing visualizes ww1 quite like these scenes. WW2 was at least more tactical and precise this was just throwing waves of bodies until one side didnt have any left, how primal
Hardcore history is a great listen
WWI was insane, but WWII was faaaaaar more insane, look at the numbers
Luis numbers dont particularly matter its the suffering that this war cuasd
What pure Hell they went though,GOD rest there soul's!!!!
It may have been made in Canada but it is pure Hollywood.
Excellent recreation..Wow! Too many gave all! Brave men in an "inferno"! Ty for posting...I can't get enough of all aspects of WW1 n WW2!😞
Nice film. Thank You!
I thought it was a great movie . Well done and full kudos.
People make fun of Canadian military "prowess" but they forget that that they were involved in WW1 and WW2 for a hell of a lot longer than we (Americans) were, they fought in Korea, and I served with them in Afghanistan, and I were glad they were on my side.
It is quite easy to get mixed up when following history especially military history with those gigantic battles. You have lot of interesting themes in your family so good on you and don’t put yourself down. Hope Grandpops is better. Thank you Tony Eaton.
I wish this was longer. Great work.
there is a full film of this , this is only a cut out version
@@John-rr9su What’s the full film called?
Edit: never mind I looked it up and found it immediately
Forever grateful to the men and women of Canada who supported the war effort in both WWI and II. Those boys saw the same hell and worse. Semper Fi to America's comrades to the North and for those who didn't make it back. USMC 99-03 veteran
What I heard from all the allied soldiers who witnessed the German soldier in action, they were incredibly brave and somehow they seemed better prepared in accepting their fate
Did you know that the British soldier in WW1 had a great respect for the German soldier? Towards the end of WW1 the Germans started surrendering in droves. They had had enough of the war. But rather than sit on their arses and be a burden to the British, they volunteered to become stretcher bearers and medical orderlies on the battlefield bringing in wounded British and Commonwealth soldiers. They would paint their helmets white or red to show that they were battlefield medical orderlies and not combatants. There was nothing in the Geneva Convention that stated that a soldier who surrendered had to do that, but the German soldiers did that. Good men. What a waste it was that good men on both sides in this bloody carnage had to be slaughtered like cattle. What astonished me most was that the Kaiser just abdicated and walked away from it to live as an exile on his investments in Holland for the rest of his life. And he only managed that because he was the grandson of Queen Victoria. He should have been hung.
@@MrMoggyman I mean the Germans were continuously mowing rows upon rows of British and French soldiers down that they actually felt guilt in the final days. Besides no human on the face of the world would want this experience for anyone, the terrible state of combat, having to live underground, manning trenches although the British trenches were horrid to live in in comparison to the more well organized German trenches.
The Germans always had an ethos of being duty bound to serve their sovereign. It is an ancient code that is unspoken for Germans to go down fighting and dying for their Lord/Warlord/Duke/Holy Roman Emperor.
If you studied even the British history, Anglo Saxons were Germanic people who migrated in droves in the 5th century to Britain. Although they converted to Roman Christianity, they still held German ethos of dying for their sovereign called the Mead oath.
'I swear before this company that I to the death for my king fight. If my king or my lord die, I take his stead and fight as he would fight. If any man here see me with weak heart or running away he me remind shall that this oath here before my kin made was. '
The Germans who were predominantly Frankish like their neighbor France had also been influenced by the neighboring German cultures and ethnicities like the Saxons, Bavarians, Alemannii and Norse from the northern borders. Oath swearing and having martial courage was part of their culture.
So this culture was not so much prevalent in Britain after the Norman invasion of 1066, that made Britain fall into the orbit of France. The Germans however still persisted in the older ways and with the rise of German Nationalism, in the 19th century to 20th century, the German martial capabilities showed that their fighting men, were generally stoic, very brave and somehow seemed able to stomach death in battle better than the allies.
You would often hear of American or British soldiers speak of how the Germans somehow carried their duty to the end and they seemed to do it with more assurance. That is something that the allies will always ponder about.
Love the music
Nice work, Sir. Shared, very poignant. Thank you. Respect.
Ashil, thank you very much for putting this together.
Can’t believe the whole battalion pulled out and left those guys to get slaughtered
If you can't retreat with em, you must sacrifice to keep them alive. One for all, all for one
@@maxmuller8633 hell no, why should i die when i can surrender and live to see another day.
have you fucking seen what those men had to fight in!!??? are you blind xD
Max Müller in times of war or any other time it is a no man left behind code. However, it is senseless and mindless to send hundreds or even thousands of more soldiers to their deaths in hopes of rescuing a few. It is a shit situation but at some point you must take your losses and prevent further loss. Allied militaries spent months and even years after the war bringing home the bodies of the fallen.
unsuspicious chair ya I’ll surrender to the 600 Huns charging me.....the first line in the trenches was almost always completely wiped out at least in the event of an enemy offensive
That was great. Thanks
I remember this song from the movie "We were Soldiers"
Excellent, authentic.
very well done
Respect to the brave Canucks from Australia
My poor great grandad survived the entire world war 1, only to go into hospital for a routine check up, scraped his arm on a nail, got sepsis and never left the hospital.
If the film wasn't graphic enough...those graves at the end, when it panned back, yea, that did it for me.
In fact ,that was a deadly enermy attacked from somewhere because they were hiding in the shell sites area prepared for killing their victim could be rushing out to give a stab with bayoneting ,throwing out a grenade to blow up the enermy. Sniper is also the dangerous threatened to the advance forces. In front of debris and the sand bags were only 4 gunners and loaders but it is nobody could know about how many of them or more than 12 defenders .

Great movie awesome music 🎶🎵🎼
A short film on battle of passchendael in ww1 , the bankers responsible for this in Britain is Switzerland ( nuetral) smoking cigars and drinking whiskey. Adding up the money and oblivious to the carnage being conducted not that far from the battlefield. This battle was particularly unwarranted and vicious in the face of progress being measured in yards on one side or the other. This strategy by the bankers is the very thing Trump is fighting money over motives over culling of the population as a byproduct. This is why there’s no turning our back on what needs to be done. 30 minutes very much worth watching.
Idk, bankers in NYC and London were more responsible, imo, if we’re looking at it through that lens.
Thomas Merc the funny thing is you think your defending warriors but your just embarrassing yourself by thinking you can speak for them. Just a keyboard warrior who would never have the balls these men had
Tldr: amerimutt who barely took a history book in his life blames the swiss over funding WW1 and turns an eye blind to Wall Street which funded the Entente since 1914
@@joelhodgson7008 and he is clearly, lacking the education as well.
Restoring classics if they have small balls i cant imagine how tiny yours would be you disrespectful fuck.

Fucking loser.

We will never forget.
To this day nothing can be justified about this battle. The appalling conditions and high losses in life. An example of the futility of the great war.
Third Ypres shattered the German counter attack formations as did Cambrai impacting on the 1918 offensive.
Imagine sitting in a hole filled with water and bodies!!!
wasted lives on both sides,war kills the poor & makes the rich,richer.r.i.p-innocent souls.
My late friend Edward Cooper won the VC at Langamarck in Belgium in the Battle of Third Ypres by silencing a concrete block house and capturing 45 German soldiers who were operating 7 machine guns.
Great movies😊😊
Peace to the fallen
Agree with the comment about the 8mm. Also a bayonet through the skull as if it was soft tissue
I know my dad is in heaven
Happy Canada Day 2021!
Best film I ever seen.
Great job! This is such an amazing movie about WW1 pertaining to Canadian troops but also showed the horror of the trenches. The love story was awful tho and a few scenes that I thought killed the movie but you have taken that out wonderfully :)
17:28 was about as Canadian as it gets.
im speachless
That song was used in the movie We Were Soldiers. I always wondered where it came from
Seems we have already forgotten.
Outstanding IRON MAIDEN song.
How the hell could we forget ?
Lest we forget

My Pap got shot 12 times bond in a tank and survive the shell in a trench
It’s a cool drama but the producer glossed over many important details
6:13 he had a very nice eyes color. Sadly and respect those who laid down
Canadians and germans had a real rivalary in both wars. Im serious, if a candian found a German he'd kill them every time and vice versa. The Canadian armour core were first to adopt the tactic of tying live germans onto cars and driving them at the enemy.
That particular pleasure was usually reserved for SS troops in WW2, especially after landing in Normandy & encountering the 12th SS Hitler Youth Division. This SS Outfit butchered around 150 Canadian PoWs (From mostly the North Nova Scotia Highlanders & the Sherbrooke Hussars, but also some Queens Own Rifles (Toronto) & Regina Rifles Regiments as well) at Authie, the Abbe Ardennes & elsewhere there in Normandy, just a few days after the Canadians had landed on Juno Beach on D-Day (06/June/1944). After these incidences, neither side took any prisoners!
10th Canadians...a lot of Alberta boys in that battalion
We won't forget
Not Canadian or British, but my French great great grandparents were all there
