Thank you for the rare historical photos and film footage. Still humiliating today...!

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6TLlI2terVnp9U My Great-Grandfather was killed here 3rd November 1914. He was originally buried under the wall that is top left visible near the horizon. This was known as Abbey Wall Cemetery. He was later interred about a mile away at Rue-David Military Cemetery not long after these photos were taken.

My Great Great grandfather is burried here, 9th bn Glasgow Highlanders HLI

My great uncle died on the first day of this battle. They had taken a German trench and were then shelled. He was one of 54 deemed missing in action. He was from Forest Green in Surrey. My father’s family never spoke of him and my father only found out shortly before he himself passed away. I have visited the war memorial in Forest green on the 3rd of September every year since. Eric Brady is commemorated on the Theipval war memorial.

Just been walking around his garden at what remains of Thorpe hall.

we will remember them.👍

I finally can post the following film footage as the You-Tube serie about the Resistance Group my Granddad belonged to and it's two German opponents reached Oct.30 1944. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmeVYoiQa7mVfZIsi=ysmsV2IMyXURQwVO

Shared on LinkedIn, these ladies deserve respect and a statue!

Yep my grandfather there 18th Hussars he survived!

This channel and video was a great find. I am not Canadian, however my great great grandfather was with the 24th Battlalion and was injured on the first day of the battle at Lens (15 August 1917). A bullet hit his shoulder, tore into his neck and exited out of the right side of his jaw, taking a few teeth with it. Thankfully he survived his injuries and would discharge honorably in 1918, 2 months before the end of the war. He went on to pursue his love of golf and help with remodeling of the Taconic golf club in Williamstown, Massachusetts. If only I had been born sooner and got to meet him.

Ich habe diesen Ort vor sechs Jahren besucht und kann in der Rückschau sagen, dass dieser Moment immer noch zu den eindringlichsten und denkwürdigsten Eindrücken in meinem Leben gehört. Das unermessliche Leid, das symbolisch aus Käthe Kollwitz' ergreifenden Figuren spricht, ist vor Ort nochmals greifbarer. In Flandern habe ich gelernt, wie wichtig es im Sinne der Erinnerungskultur ist, solche Orte zu pflegen und ihre Bedeutung hervorzuheben.

If you can get past the reporter hmming throughout the interview then this is a fantastic story that should never be forgotten. Thank you for saving so many lives ladies, and giving women the power to show their worth and dignity. You and other women who gave their everything to do such wonderful things for the armed forces. God bless you all. x 🙏🏻👏🏻👍🏻💕💕🙂

It was my great grandfather capt. Charlton that saved that bridge. A very proud moment in our family history. He later settled in Alberta

My great uncle Max is probably in one of those photos. He enlisted in 1915 and was killed 9 August 1918, the second day of the Battle of Amiens. I have a photo from my grandmother that includes Max, his father and 5 brothers. Unfortunately, I don't know which one is Max. Nice job with the video!

Dank an alle die ihr Leben gaben damit es uns heute besser geht.❤❤❤ RIP

My grandmother’s uncle was with the 30th division, and killed in this battle. Thank you for remembering them.

My grandad had 5 small children and was 33, so avoided conscription until late 1916. At 3.45am On Thursday 3 May 1917, he attacked Oppy Wood with 12th battalion East Yorkshire Regiment (Though he was from West Yorks), and was killed. It was a hot day and the bodies went black and expanded. His remains were never found/identified. My dad (his son), was 18 months old and was later conscripted to fight in the jungles of Burma in 1944.

A very respectful addressing of the cost of war. Behind each name a mother, father, sister, brother, or children.

Nothing mentioned about who broke the ` Hindenburg line, the ` British.

Da liegt mein Opa! 😭 ❤️ Danke für das schöne Video! 🙏❤️

Thank you for making this. George Preston 14th February 1945. Returning from Dresden (operation Thunderclap). The plane was in flames, all crew made it to safety except Geordie. You are remembered and still talked about.Thank ypu.

The Lancaster is an incredible plane, and it's fitting that it dedicated to Andy. The plane often flies over my house in Oakville, and I always head out the door to spot her. Vera is a magnificent sight.

Historically accurate

My great great great uncle died here on 19 sept 1918, John Chadwick 6bn machine gun corps

My maternal Great Grandfather is buried in this cemetery. Along with parents I have visited his grave. I would have liked to have seen it shown on the video. RIP Rifleman LS Price. You will never be forgotten

My great uncle, Pte. Timothy Brennan, # 470196, from Goulds, Newfoundland is buried here.

Did the Canadians have kilts? or are those Scottish Highlanders? Also Blacks in Canadian military?

Très beau travail de mémoire ! J'ai passé ma jeunesse à Albert dans les années 70 et sur le 3ème tiers de la vidéo j'ai reconnu pleins de bâtiments de mon époque : la gare, mon école, certaines maisons... J'aimerai en voir encore plus , notamment sur la remise en exploitations des champs entre Albert et Bouzincourt. Bravo !

My grandfather Lewis Rae also served in the 58th Battery during the Great War.

There is also footage of it sinking

The German M. 16 Kleinflammenwerfer looks like an absolutely awful weapon to be assigned to use. The way it requires two men, working closely together, seems like a recipe to get quickly killed. If either operator is killed or wounded, the other is left standing there completely defenseless. The way you would have to move in concert looks terrible too. Being a first generation weapon, it only had a range of about 60 feet. They hadn't figured out yet to mix in oil with the gasoline, and it mostly burned up in a fireball of black smoke. Im sure it was terrifying to have coming at you, and the Germans were adept at keeping their team together and providing cover. I'd not want that job though. Come to think of it, any job on a WW1 battlefield looks like a death sentence.

The youth of today could not do this....

I had two ancestors in the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles, they originally joined up with the 8th CMR but were drafted into the 4th CMR during the divisional restructuring in January 1916. They went to Belgium with the 4th CMR and one was killed in action at Mount Sorrel, the other wounded at the Somme and invalided to Canada in August 1917.

It was six Australians that captured Chipilly. As thanks the Americans tried to shoot them and the British put up a statue after the war to claim that they won the day.

A sad sight of a once mighty fleet .

My grandfather lost his arm that morning while his brother lost his leg. After both having survived months of fighting. Their entire files are now posted online at government records.

My great grandfather is one of the 26 Australians buried here. KIA July 4 Battle of Hamel. RIP Gone but not forgotten, Thanks for posting this.

Thank you Thomas for your bravery.

My Gr. Grandfather Charles Hilton was one of these brave men! RIP Grandfather...

proud to be a bloody Belgain

Long live the memory of the High Seas Fleet! May the Iron Cross and Eagle be remembered in honor. Mit Gott fur Kaiser und Vaterland!

There was a story of a supernatural event that occurred during one area of that battle in the war. Captain Cecil Haywood recorded the event in a book or some publication. The British couldn't defeat the Germans, and the British retreated. The Germans trained there guns on the town and allot of soldiers and others died. Some British stayed to try to hold off the Germans, but they knew that eventually they will die, as they couldn't hold them off. Then suddenly the Germans who were concentrating there guns on the town, suddenly concentrated there artillery on an open field. Captain Haywood was confused and didn't know what the Germans shooting at, as it was just an open field devoid of any buildings, trees or human beings. The Germans intensified there barrage of artillery and machined guns on that field. Suddenly the Germans abandoned shooting the field and took off running in great fear. The British that stayed behind were in shock seeing the Germans retreat and run in great haste. What did the Germans see? Why did they retreat when they were better in numbers and victory was at hand? Well Cecil being curious, interviewed prisoners of war who were there. All the prisoners he interviewed that was there on the German side, said that they saw a brigade of cavalry of men in white uniforms on white horses advancing. They thought it was strange, and didn't know of any such unit the English had, but regardless they fired on them. When the cavalry was in greater view to the German soldiers, the prisoner explained, that they were terrified at what they saw. There leader on the lead horse was terrible to look at, and they fled as fast they could. The prisoners described that they were so terrified, that they threw rifles, packs, anything that slow them down so they can run faster away from the cavalry and away from there leader. Is this story true? You be the judge.

Thankyou! My great grandfathers cousin (my 1c2r) is listed here. Pvt Charles Edwin Jepson died 12 September 1918. Find a grave shows his plot as L26 which when I look at google maps from above, may not still be there or the headstone may be missing.

Today Varlet Farm is in my opinion the best B&B in the Salient

It wasn’t called Passchendaele it was called the Battle of Ypres. The second battle was 2nd Ypres and green third battle was called 3rd Ypres not Passchendaele, that was just one of twelve battles within the offensive.

Mooie fotos van een menselijke tragedie in die nutteloze oorlog
