I know this is a rather old video, but it still gives me goosebumps seeing these trenches of where people spent most of their time in the first world war inside of and i believe that you did a wonderful job going through them and showing people around the world where these brave men lived, and died in its almost ghostly seeing a dried up trench on a sunny day where more than 100 years ago so many men on both sides gave up their lives in service of their country in artillery blackened skies and mud filled holes it must've been a hellish site to see for sure... thank you for sharing this with us i hope that one day i may be able to see this with my own eyes

How many of these soldiers that survived this hell suffered for the rest of their lives with physical and mental scars. Many looked like monsters because they had lost their leg, arms or half their face, some had been burned, even their face burned etc etc. Most have been rejected by society because they didnt look " normal" and people where scared of their looks. Nobody today remembers that and we should be ashamed. Thank you for your video Sir.

A forgotten or overlooked war here in the States, where it was fought and by those that fought it, aptly called the Great War. Like a few Yanks before me, I'm coming over.

I imagine many people watching your videos have a connection to these sites via an ancestor. My Great Uncle was a British Bombardier in the Heavy Artillery. In October 1915 he was killed by a German shell. Like so many others he was fragmentated resulting in his remains never being found in a recognisable way. So as you say these sites need to be revered as mass graves and respected. Ive watched all your videos and you're doing fantastic work. Thanks mate.

Fantastic that these trenches have been as restored as they have. I’m used to archaeologists discovering things in Williamsburg, VA, or such similar restorations. This is more closely related to restoring Civil War battlefields except for the most part they were fought above the ground until later in the war.

Great video sir. Thank you for sharing. My wife and I are planning a vacation to France once this pandemic is finally at an end. Maybe we can get over here and see for ourselves. Her and I just watched "All Quiet on the Western Front" a couple weeks ago. My wife is from Japan, and they don't talk much about WWI or WWII. So that was really, her first bit of knowledge about the Great War. she didn't know Japan was one of our allies in WWI. She knew WWII happened. She knew they attacked Pearl Harbor and we dropped two atomic bombs on them but that was about the extent of her knowledge. Anyway, I think they did an excellent job with the remake. Just, watch it in German. If you can't speak German, then just read the subtitles. It's so much better that way. The voice over in English was really bad. Thank you again.

You commented in this video or possibly the last video of yours I watched, about how many injuries were from artillery. I started thinking about the German dugouts, how they had deep dugouts impervious to artillery. I wonder what the percentage of artillery injuries were for Germans compared to French and English. Then I also started wondering if there were any of the nice deep German dugouts still intact and if you had any footage of one? It would be nice to see a video showing where the average British and French troops slept, and in the same video the German dugouts where the average German soldiers slept.

There are many of these bunkers still there. Most have been sealed as being too dangerous now. But some are preserved. At Vimy you can go on a guided tour of the tunnels.

I started playing a world war 1 gane called "isonzo". Its supposed to be historically accurate so only weapons used by the italians and austro-hungarians and only fights in the battle of the isonzo are included in the game. Playing that made me want to watch videos or see pictures of before and after the war and made me more interested in what happened
