More British soldiers died in WWI than in WWII. One of my paternal great-grandfathers was mustard gassed during WWI. He survived but had breathing difficulties until the day he died around 1971. Another great-grandfather of mine survived but had shrapnel. After WWI he went working on the railways and on one cold winter's day he was doing some work on a railway line when he slipped over on some ice. When he hit the ground the shrapnel moved in his body and it killed him.

[@thesupertendent8973]

I’m from the U.K.. I went travelling over continental Europe this summer and made great mates with a load of Germans who were great fun to drink and chat with. To think 80-100 years ago we would be forced by circumstance to kill each other in pointless wars for control of a tiny dot, makes me sick. We’re all in this confusing thing called life together with no real clue or idea what’s going on but while we’re on this earth we may as well make it easy as possible for others on it. I hope all around this world have a good Christmas and new year regardless of nation, religion, race or ethnicity and in our lives we overcome the challenges that we face. Each and every single human is the most complex thing in the known universe, behold and cherish that thought. At the risk of sounding incredibly pretentious I hope it will drive us all to appreciate one another for who we are and what we can become.

It's not a Christmas song at all, but a very strong anti-war song. It does express the message 'wish I was at home for Christmas' ( four times) but the main message is anti-war. That said, I always feel more like Christmas when it's played publicly. Love the song and the sentiment.

This song has been going around in my head for the past few weeks. Although I've heard it every year around Christmas since I was about 10 years old, I never actually knew what the title was. I just stumbled across it this evening while trawling through 70's and 80's christmas pop songs, and songs associated with the Christmas period; because I've been feeling the urge to binge 'Christmas Music lately'... I wonder why! (didn't even realize this song was about war). This one holds a special place in my heart because I grew up in a cult that forbade the celebration of Christmas (and other holidays) and all the other stuff that was connected to it, such as the music - but I 'secretly' loved this song. Still do. And now, for the last 10 years I've been free to indulge the holiday and the music.

james Darby The services are full of numpties who need the experience of war to realise all men are equal and dialogue is always the most important thing. Let me guess you voted Brexit as well.

@@aldozilli1293 - You say that as if we're fighting a war to leave the EU, instead of, you know, following the established method for exiting the union peacefully.

Churchill was a war monger. Hitler did not want a war with Britain. He sent those men across knowing full well the nazis would have no choice to attack. Churchill the warmonger

may this song be on our hearts this christmas as we remember.

A real novelty here ..... This song is an excellent proposal which seems to be a protest against all forms of armed conflict, invasions, wars which are catastrophic events from every point of view, material, human but also psychological .... men who they often find in lands far from home, in drastic conditions .... wars that are often useless as peaceful solutions are scrapped by those in power. A man who calls for a quick resolution of conflict by calling " the cavalry " = those who are quick to put an end....a man who wishes he was home on Christmas, a man in the cold who dreams of peace and love... a man saying a prayer...and there are so many like him these days, let us join our prayers for him to come home. Thanks for putting it here, this is where it belongs.... 😊😊😊.
