My grandfather , Tom Smith was an ambulance officer in the Somme, he survived, and went on to be an air raid siren operator in ww2 , he died in 1966

[@j.sargent9172]

The moment with the compass and case was amazing... wonderful people ❤️

[@richardwilliams1334]

My grandfather was a Vet from that war, on his return he not only brought back battle maps, bino's but also a compass case just like this one shown.

[@jamiefowler6524]

That is incredible. Makes me hold out hope that someday my great great uncle will be found in Luxembourg from ww2

[@bradschwamberger1217]

Touching, really touching to bring the alive together with the dead.

[@brandobecerro]

Subscribed!! I love historical war videos. This is a great video. I look forward to watching more of these kind of videos.

[@uttamchhetri2228]

Well documented. Congrats and thank you for uniting lost hearts.

[@davidlongley534]

These mines weren't set off on the first day of the Somme battle there had been stalemate for many months . Ask the Anzacs

[@jayharper2252]

That's awesome about the compass and the case.

[@fordfairlane662dr]

This was very interesting to watch and learn about forgotten history!

[@aaronjaben7913]

9:28 the trench must have been for that regiment of dwarfs we hear so much about

[@diesel-zi9um]

The bullet you found is for a Mannlicher M95 rifle issued by the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in 1895. The M95 weapon family is an improved version of the M88/90 types. More than three million units were produced. Made in Steyr (OEWG) and Budapest (FÉG), the M95 rifle and carbine were also used by Bulgaria during the First World War. Italy, Serbia, and Romania were plundered during the war, as well as during the Second World War. The "K" (ŒWG) or "R" (FÉG) striker on the locks is the manufacturer's designation. At the factory, the gun was designed for 8x50R M93 ammunition with 3070 Joules of energy.

[@Lemons2Lemonade2.0]

I have never had tears running down my cheeks from a KZbin video. What an incredible story! How long has it been since anyone uttered these names? I just stumbled upon your channel and it is fabulous. Great work! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, talent, and hobby for everyone to see. ❤

[@mdv2043]

Man this was an awsome video/ show. I can't thank you enough.

[@emorel48]

A very beautiful presentation of History and the real people who lived through it!

[@robertgreen9150]

LESTER...WHAT A GREAT MAN AND STORY

[@TheEarl777]

Of the 18000 New Zealanders at the Somme, 6000 were wounded and 2100 died. RIP lads.

[@daveblackburn5393]

I have never heard of your u tube channel. Really enjoyed the episode. U do a marvelous show. Thanks for sharing. Fantastic job . Respectfully herr Dave blackburn

[@L4M858]

Really enjoyed this look into history, WWI. Many younger people will never know the great sacrifices of men and women from the years gone by...... Thanks!

[@freddygray8058]

What an excellent show.

[@billclisham8668]

Who knew that a 100 + year old compass could turn a 61 year old man thousands of miles away into a blubbering heap? I have my GrandFather's WW1 dog tags and a piece of shrapnel that he had brought home. I have given the dog tags to my Nephew after he got out of the Marine Corp as well as the flag that was used in My Uncle Bob's casket(WW2 vet) and later used in my Father's casket(served during Korean war but in Greenland)since it can some day long into the future be used in his as well.(Afghanistan and Iraq)

[@mikelclark8379]

That was an amazing story Thank You for what you did to bring them back togeather. I am A Retired US ARMY Scout.

[@bobbennett7195]

Wow what you do is fantastic. Thank you.

[@sagatman97]

"This is an incredible story. It's hard to believe the coincidence and the final closure. Well done, boys!

[@j.sargent9172]

Because it was faked for production, still great but definitely for tv

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

Bravo Team for this uplifting video and how you found living relatives of 2 of these men and thankfully you did not set off those hand grenades too. Much Respect to all from Australia.

[@JanoschNr1]

07:33 is the moment they tell you themself that they lied with the "No clue what he has for us" part

[@marvwatkins7029]

How can they have provisions in the tunnel when no one's been in its for 10 years or more? And width helmets on but not gloves to move the doors? So smart.

[@morpar318]

If you close your eyes, it sounds like mike Rowe is talking.

[@1339LARS]

Great !!!!! //Lars

[@JanoschNr1]

They not gonna win an oscar for this one.

[@colleenlinke4208]

What a powerful story!!!! Simply amazing!!!!!!

[@paulapridy6804]

Stunning work. Respect.

[@tarasisan]

Wow! 🥹 beautiful story

[@marvwatkins7029]

Why are all those Durant Group employees kitted out with hard hats, etc. if they didn't go in too?

[@lenkahenry5506]

Great episode wow

[@paulking8318]

No nonsense well made

[@gregbolitho9775]

Nice goin you Blokes!

[@christopherdwyer7570]

7.65 argentine/mauser used in the 1889 Belgian. Beautiful rifle, great round

[@marvwatkins7029]

(Jim and Ruth are a bit overdressed for the visit and occasion.)

[@elrobo3568]

This is where my father got shot in the head and then blown up by artillery. He lost an eye and leg trying to free France.

[@marvwatkins7029]

David O'Keefe: voted Canada's Sexist Historian Ever by McCleans readers: GOAT.

[@paulbradford8240]

A nice gesture, but I think the compass should have stayed with the family.

[@cliffpowellAmb482]

Well...what you can find out with just a man's service number: Pvt Lester Stokes, Canadian Infantry, was awarded the Military Medal before he was wounded, and he did survive the war. The MM was just below the VC in importance, so there will also be another record of what he did to deserve being awarded that medal...and it is also recorded in the "London Gazette", Supplement 30312, Page 10039 Dated 25 Sept 1917.

[@mark703]

I think the compass case should have been given to the old couple, so the compass and case could have been passed on to their grandchildren. It would mean more to them than people just seeing the case along with other objects that mean nothing to them.

[@johnkesler5092]

A great episode on its own...no need to BS with these fake surprise "no idea" bits about the compass. It's pretty clear the family was told about the case and therefore brought the compass. It just cheapens the experience and makes you wonder what other BS you're putting on.

[@stevemiller6766]

I'm with you. I get tired of these stories with more drama and yak yak yak than actual archeology.

[@mikereilly7629]

As soon as you add cameras and other factors, you lose the reality of the situation,life on camera isn't real life; it becomes a production

[@Arthur-f1i]

Well, I’m a battlefield/ relic searcher too and already had multiple experiences like these, reuniting personal belongings with their families. So even if staged, these thing really happen like this and it’s always a really satisfying feeling to experience.

[@ericcooper8173]

The leather case was for a British dry card prismatic compass! I have my fathers! The other was a small pocket compass, not the same but equally useful! underground!

[@usmcmustang2972]

The whole show is BS ...

[@michaelmikelson2946]

"the location where he stood has always been a mystery". No, this exact video was done by another company at least a decade ago.

[@HUTZELMUTZEL]

ammo for a sharpshooter rifle - they have not in all times the same caliber as the standard rifle 7,92x57 or .303

[@marvwatkins7029]

Clearly the "professor" was hired more for his looks than anything else. A She is Reeve clone?

[@Matt-iv4rn]

It was used as a ammo dump

[@brushbros]

When the victors entered the area of their explosive slaughter they became enveloped in a cloud of pink mist. Guess what it was?

[@marvwatkins7029]

(If they're in the Continent so much, why on Earth didn't they rent or lease (hire?) a car with LHD? Crazy and silly.

[@tnteachertim]

"Unique" doesn't mean what you think it does...

[@MrMRW14]

This is fantastic. Sorry to say it but too much American tv is just fake trash. This is amazing. Truly brilliant

[@cadence4527]

I’m pretty certain the artillery is completely inert. Those things have a limited shelf life. WWII artillery, a slight maybe. WWI artillery is just too old.

[@chrism3872]

Even American Civil War ordnance can still be explosive. Charleston, SC was bombarded by Union Naval artillery for many months and that was essentially 150 years ago. It is from time to time unearthed during modern construction projects and must be disposed of by USNavy EOD specialists in Civil War ammunition ordnance disposal. NEVER mess with old ordnance! Report it to specialists from the military authorities in the location found, who can dispose of it properly.

[@graemehunter5403]

Did the americanc wi inis as well as Viet Vietnam

[@usmcmustang2972]

Why does everyone panic over a 100 year old grenade? ... it would never go off after the case is rusted through and the powder completely degraded... if it were an artillery round, thats a different story .. And no one seems troubled about flopping the rifle ammunition around... which COULD go off under the right rusty circumstances... jus sayin ...

[@119jle]

Biden said he signed his name down there too.

[@Brahlam]

Wow this is bad... xD

[@albatros1752]
