Carey Mulligan In Tears Learning About Her Grandfather's Experience in WWII | My Grandparents' War

[@robertjames8220]

These are the things that history is made of. We teach in schools the "big events", but history, *real* history is the stories of the people who lived, the places they called home even for a short time. Their struggles, their challenges, their missteps, and their glorious successes. So long as the stories are told, they are immortal.

[@bethbarrett6819]

Well said, Robert.

[@Toto69584]

You nailed it. So well said

[@rickc2102]

All collectives are intangible and imaginary; the only realities are the experiences of the individual.

[@SirLangsalot]

I love Carey Mulligan. So charming.

[@Caledoniarose]

Golly. She has such a beautiful speaking voice!

[@rickc2102]

I'd only ever seen her before in the movie Drive, so yeah, received pronunciation wasn't what I was expecting at all.

[@wightwalker2453]

And beautiful everything else I'd say.

[@Caledoniarose]

I'd say you're right there too. Lol! I think she is married to the lead singer of Mumford and Sons. Not sure of his name, but cute couple and great band. She's a terrific actress too.

[@wightwalker2453]

Heather Cox ....and I'm 50, married and lower league. If things had been different though I'm certain she could have made me very happy and I her miserable. I've heard of Mumford and sons, they don't make good long term husbands.

[@Caledoniarose]

Ha-ha WW425, Hope Springs eternal! Here's hoping the singer doesn't Ms. Mulligan's heart and I'm sure your Mrs. is very happy with you no matter your "league". I'd say you're in a league of your own. Cheers!

Love this story. What goes around comes around. Warmth and kindness triumphs

[@MsBhappy]

it's true. My grandfather was taken in by the English when he was a refugee just before WWII, he then helped Vietnamese refugees and now my parents help Syrian refugees. Sadly, there is always someone being wrongfully persecuted or victims of senseless war.

[@user-ck9lm6xi1o]

After watching her interviews on Craig Ferguson's old show, I fell in love. She seems so genuine and wholesome. This clip proves that. Made me a bit emotional watching this.

[@Free-flyBE]

Just watched the episode on PBS; brought me to tears because my father also fought in Japan during WWII; & I never had a chance to talk to him about it - he was also a 'quiet hero'!

[@MFM230]

My dad stayed in England during WWII and told us stories about the British. Carey is a great actor. Loved her in Dr. Who.

[@joecook5689]

[@silverlight2004db]

She put on a good act for this little bit of self promotion

[@kroo07]

My father was in the British Pacific Fleet on HMS Tenacious. When he and a fellow sailor disembarked for shore leave they were picked by a couple to be taken to their home - they had no idea where. They ended up on a farm in Coonabarabran, NSW which even today is around a six hour drive. They had a fantastic time horse riding every day.

[@youdoonedoes3984]

Only the second one of these I’ve seen - and, like the first, left me feeling surprisingly? emotional. Subbed.

[@harry616]

The Film MY GRAND PARENTS WAR with CAREY MULLIGAN was made in LONDON and i had the Honour to play a part in this film because i served on the ship H.M.S.INDEFATIGABLE in which CAREY MULLIGAN had a Gradfather who was an officer on the ship the same time as myself and i was able to describe waht happened when we was hit by KAMIKAZE planes on APRIL 1st 1945 during the operation OKINAWA in which the American Marines Landed and we was support forces during that operation..There are not many of the crew alive oday as for myself i am aged 99 years old and i only know of one other shipmate alive living north of England so we can tell of the Batle we was engaged in .IT was sad for me as i ,lost a good friend in the BATTLE .

Very few big screen Hollywood actors are American , they purposely avoid Americans , I love film and good acting , but the political agendas have me disappointed by their discrimination, the very population that supports them the most is just money

[@Laura-Panda88]

Honestly want to become a celebrity so I could do this, both grandparents from my father's side were adopted and I'd like to know their family name as that has been lost. Through my grandmother I know she suffered a great deal with the family that took her in and it would be great to find any descendants of her brothers and sisters as they were separated when the adoptions went through, my grandmother was sad due to this almost all her life wondering about her siblings. Through my mother's side there is talk of being descendants of French, Japanese and maybe middle eastern but that has never been confirmed. Through the avenues opened now with genealogy and Open Records I'd have to have millions of dollars to have these records sent to me...

use ancestry .com - found 3 half brothers and a dead father

[@sansewai]

You don't have to be a celebrity to do this. As bob cl said, you can get an Ancestry.com kit and it will tell you a lot any you may find cousins and distant relatives through their portal. It would be so interesting! Good luck

[@publiusvelocitor4668]

You'd be amazed how much you can learn, if you get a little help finding out where to look. It only takes millions of $$$, if you want other people to do all the work. What it takes is TIME, and a little money for travel, depending on your family history. If you know where your ancestors came from, you can ask around in public records offices or churches. My mother did this, and found family history (well, at least one branch of the family) going back to the 1740's.

[@X_Enecs_X]

Hi! The study of genealogy is actually a really common thing! If you don't want to put in the effort of looking up your family history yourself you can probably find someone to pay on sites like fiverr or through discord or something like that. It's always interesting to dig into your family history!

[@Laura-Panda88]

@@X_Enecs_X A little update, I have managed to find some records on my own and found out that the last name my grandfather always thought was his biological's surname/last name wasn't it and his mom kept his biological father's name as well as his adopted name.

at 1:02m it has a man sleeping with a star of david on his jacket. I wonder why they made servicemen wear that on their jackets? I'm sure that is it's own youtube video.

Not a Star of David. It’s an insignia , a part of his uniform.

That is in fact his mustering function. Not the star of David. It was a star that usually had the letters of his function in the middle, C for Cook, W for writer (admin), S for Supply. etc.

how old is Carey? she doesnt seem old enough for her grandfather to have served during the war. my father was raised by his mother and stepfather, his stepfather was only 15 years older than him and served in WWII. my father in turn lied about his age and served in Korea, but he was 39 when he had me and im 48. presumably she is much younger than me?

[@johanmuller799]

I'm 25 and my grandfather served in the war. Some people just have children when they are older and luckily that gave me the opportunity to hear stories of the war from a young age.

[@sophiab7368]

I’m 30 and my grandfather served in WII but I am the youngest of the grandkids and my parents had me in their 30s. I don’t remember how old he would be if he was still alive but he was a few years older then my grandmother who if she was still alive would be about the age of the queen of England.
