[@andyrob3259]

What a great combination, Downton Abbey scenes perfectly synchronised with one of Great Britain's most lovely & timeless songs….

[@britbazza3568]

Thank you for your words but us Brits have defended this Island for a thousand years not because we've only had too, but because we love our way of life and our Nation. So Germany please learn after a thousand years of defending these islands it's now part of us and we will always defend this nation and will always win because of all the above.

I heard my country calling, away across the sea, Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me. Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head, And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead; I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns; I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.

For Australia, the First World War remains the costliest conflict in terms of deaths and casualties. From a population of fewer than five million, 416,809 men enlisted, of whom more than 60,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner.

[@hughdaubry6135]

+John Kennedy A story, John. I'm one Palmy Bastard who loves Australia, New Zealand, and dear old Colonial Hong Kong. A few years ago we attended the Gallipoli Dawn service. Feeling a bit self conscious, out of respect I wore my old far east uniform, Surgeon-Colonel as I was then. My wife tells me I looked as if I was crying through the service - I remember managing a good salute at Last Post but did tear up a bit. From the Mansel cemetery where three of my relations rest, "Per crucem ad lucem." God love the ANZACS. God save the queen!

[@anjajurgenssen6976]

My ancestors died a horrible death in this war. There was and is no pride in sending millions, yes, millions to their death in WWI. For those who broke to be shot at dawn by the cowards at a desk. This music is an afront to to those who cried and died at the front for lack of leadership. THIS is why at EVERY armistice parade Politicians must be made to attend this ceremony. War is the failure of politics, and every life lost must weigh heavy on their heart.

[@hughdaubry6135]

+Anja Jurgenssen WH Auden wrote, "To save your world you asked this man to die; would this man, could he see you now, ask why?" 880'000 British and Colonials died in that war, probably as many wounded. But for all that blood and suffering, I think those men would say IT WAS NOT FOR NOTHING! A rapacious germany would have taken control of all of Europe, and did so in the most bestial manner -- think about poor Belgium, the Low Lands and northern France. It was only practice for what Hitler mechanized a few years later. It was not for nothing.

[@raymondscott6720]

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." John Stuart Mill.

[@sidkid4075]

If one reads the testimony of the men who fought in WW1, well the British men, they considered the war as a true war of liberation and to fight a wrong because Germany invaded neutral Belgium. If Germany had not done so there is proof that Britain would not have gone to war in 1914 but would have had too later on. Throughout the war the men who did the fighting considered it awful but a necessity and they fought with justice. It was a terrible waste but the men thought the General good, Haig was considered a great man and it was he who set up the Haig fund AKA Poppy Appeal. It was only later in the 1960's with a narrow revisionist view, strong but powerful in the media that began to change the view and made Haig a laughing stock which most of the veterans angry and bitter as they knew him differently. Oh What A Lovely War was boycotted by veterans of WW1 as they thought that film betrayed their value along with some of the war poets who wrote their poems long after the war when they were bitter about the country forgetting the soldiers sacrifice. History is a great for revisionist hindsight and hindsight has altered modern views but not of the men who fought proudly and died for their aims. They mourned the loss of friends but thought their sacrifice as honourable and worthy. My family lost 4 of its five sons yet my Granddad who was only survivor never saw his brothers loss and anything but honourable. We cannot put our values on the men and women who did take part in WW1, to do so is to lessen the service of those who did die or were wounded.

[@lotstolearn5350]

Sid Kid : Yes, but they were lied to. In 1913 Britain was nigh bankrupt & on the verge of a second civil war over atrocious working conditions. The Bank of England was keen on war. Nobody cared about an assassinated Austrian archduke or about foreigners on the continent. Belgium had only been a separate country for 83 years & wasn't important like France & Russia were. Politicians feared the vastly more industrially skilled German workforce. So the cream of western manhood had to die in WW1.

[@maryrafuse2297]

It was Canada that risked its own national unity for King and Motherland. Britain should be aware of this fact and not forget it. Quebec was a reluctant participant, that did not want her young killed in another European War, although in the end Quebec also contributed greatly to victory. Canada gave more than she is ever credited for and will fight future wars under her own command and the Maple Leaf. Make no mistake about this! We are so proud that Newfoundland is proudly Canadian since 1949.

[@robertwhite952]

Mary, we do know about your contribution . We love Canadians like the brothers you are. Fine brave soldiers. I would fight with Canadians by my side anyday Ex marine here.

[@bigbenbrown55]

As an American, I'm especially proud of and have a deep respect for all those who stood up to fight tyranny, particularly in cases when they did not wish to, were reluctant to, or were answering to another's call, or to another's need. Thanks to both Canada and the UK, cousins all, through the good and the bad.

On each of the great pillars in the nave of the cathedral of Reims, there is a small brass plaque on which is written: "For the glory of God, and in memory of the 1 million British dead in France." All of the stained glass in that cathedral is ugly 20th century abstract stuff. The medieval originals were all shattered by the Great War.
