"Far from the home of his childhood, sleeping his last long goodbye". "My only son." "My boy." I admit I cried.

Thank you CWGC. This kind of films lets us remember that war is fought by persons and each one of them is a story.

Heartbreaking. It's so easy to look at the casualties as just numbers, but they were people. Husbands, brothers, sons, fathers....

I'm here visiting my dads great grandfathers grave. He and his 4 brothers all sent to their deaths and 2 of them had pregnant wives and never even got to hold their first born. That's unthinkable

This brings tears. So many young people lost to us. My beautiful grand uncle signed up at age 19 so his older brother Alf said if my brother goes so do I . Alf returned , his baby brother was lost at broodsiende 4th October 1917. . No known grave , presumed killed. Lest we forget . 🙏

These family tributes do so much to connect us to the deeper meaning of sacrifice and loss. The gulf of time disappears as you feel and identify with the pain of their loved ones.

Though WWI ended 102years ago, you can still feel through these simple, but powerful, epitaphs the family's sorrow and pain - undiminished - to the present day. Lest we forget!! 😔

Wouldn't it be interesting that when people deem someone's work worthy of a 'thumbs down' that they should have to explain in 140 characters why they have chosen to do this? Because I would like to try and understand them. At the moment I struggle to do this.

"Have you news of my boy Jack?” Not this tide. "When d'you think that he'll come back?" Not with this wind blowing, and this tide. "Has any one else had word of him?" Not this tide. For what is sunk will hardly swim, Not with this wind blowing, and this tide. "Oh, dear, what comfort can I find?" None this tide, Nor any tide, Except he did not shame his kind- Not even with that wind blowing, and that tide. Then hold your head up all the more, This tide, And every tide; Because he was the son you bore, And gave to that wind blowing and that tide!”

So easy to see why this was referred to as the "Lost Generation". How sad and tragic that just over 20 years later another world war would ravage the same battlefields.

What a waste of life. It makes me sick thinking about it. How many Albert Einsteins or Isaac Newtons did we miss out on because of this senseless slaughter.

@Catherine Heridis This statement is pure ignorance Albert Einstein did not invent the atomic bomb . Beside did you want Nazi Germany to develop the atomic bomb.

@ms-terious 4 жыл бұрын

@Ekaterina The Greek so mass energy equivalence, an equation that provides the key to understanding the most basic natural processes of the universe, an understanding in which we take advantage of today via technology like PET scanners, radiocarbon dating.....SMOKE DETECTORS, the basis of the study of kinematics, is proof that Einstein is 'evil' because it also gave use a greater understanding of how things go 'boom'? So the fact that it was first published in 1905 has no bearing on your ascertain? Or the fact that otto hahn actually discovered nuclear fission in 1938 or that the manhattan project started in 1941 and Robert Oppenheimer, the 'father of the atomic bomb was more instrumental in its creation than Einstein? You're a fucking moron.

Michael Lewis the last sentence of you comment is stating the ‘Bleeding obvious’ Is your point another whinge. By the way Britain provided the most troops and suffered the most casualties both by % of population and % of troops in combat. Not The Aussies, not the Kiwis or the Canadians.
