I listened to this again, just recently, for Anzac Day. Our Australian and New Zealander boys were certainly fed that rotten old lie.

Thank you. My father was in WWII at 18 and the D-Day landings at 19. He was wounded in France. There was no help back them for what they saw and how they dealt with it. My father, uncles, and great-uncles dealt with it by drinking. Very sad. No more wars.

I appreciate your reading and your acknowledgments of those lost and the still fighting. You read that well, most mess it up.

Thank you, Descent Master … that was a spine thrilling recitation of one of my favourite poems. Lest We Forget.

Thank you for that. Here's some Sassoon: Aftermath Have you forgotten yet?… For the world's events have rumbled on since those gagged days, Like traffic checked while at the crossing of city-ways: And the haunted gap in your mind has filled with thoughts that flow Like clouds in the lit heaven of life; and you're a man reprieved to go, Taking your peaceful share of Time, with joy to spare. But the past is just the same-and War's a bloody game… Have you forgotten yet?… Look down, and swear by the slain of the War that you'll never forget. Do you remember the dark months you held the sector at Mametz- The nights you watched and wired and dug and piled sandbags on parapets? Do you remember the rats; and the stench Of corpses rotting in front of the front-line trench- And dawn coming, dirty-white, and chill with a hopeless rain? Do you ever stop and ask, 'Is it all going to happen again?' Do you remember that hour of din before the attack- And the anger, the blind compassion that seized and shook you then As you peered at the doomed and haggard faces of your men? Do you remember the stretcher-cases lurching back With dying eyes and lolling heads-those ashen-grey Masks of the lads who once were keen and kind and gay? Have you forgotten yet?… Look up, and swear by the green of the spring that you'll never forget.

Thank you DiD for this amazing reading of one of what I consider to be the greatest poem on war. (Army 2013-2019)

That was lovely. Now I need to listen to "In Dulce Decorum" by The Damned. I wonder if it was inspired by this? Dear mother how I will write this line When I know I'm counting time I'm tired and I'm scared I'm waiting and death's my friend To say in God we trust not for this Oh the death and glory boys not for this Dear beloved try to write to you Through the senseless deaths of a million troops I'm waiting my time is near As my tears wash away my years To say in God we trust not for this Oh the death and glory boys not for this Where I walk where I see The haunting flares where my friends bleed I see the face of the enemy Of a man or boy who is just like me Now you're not there All the tears we bled Cut through like winters rain Can't you feel the pain And if I could ever sleep again I know till the end of time I'd hear Their screams of pain Dulce dulce decorum Dulce dulce decorum Dulce Dear mother I'll write to you

Positively horrifying … ¡ I almost hate to say thank you ! I read on Wikipedia that there were women who handed out white feathers to those they deemed as cowards for not being on the front lines. That sounds so "modern!"
