It's a lovely war Come to the cook-house door, boys, Sniff at the lovely stew, Who is it says the colonel Gets better grub than you? Any complaints this morning? Do we complain? Not we What's the matter with lumps of onion Floating around your tea? Oh! Oh! Oh! It's a lovely war, Who wouldn't be a soldier, eh?

[@Hereford1642]

I am sure that on two occasions in the song the 'Form fours, Right turn' is substituted with something else that sounds to me like 'Home fires ...... ' and I cannot make out the second half.

[@WelloBello]

The fact that some people don’t realize this is satire scares me.

[@FakeAssHandsomeMcGee_]

It can be hard at first if you see it from a certain view. I mean Britons being forced to fight a land war with a million casualties just because some Austrian guy got shot. It wouldn’t surprise me if the old men in London that pushed for the war thought such a song might help in recruiting. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The song "Oh! It's a Lovely War" was written by J. P. Long and Maurice Scott in 1917 and was part of the repertoire of music hall star and male impersonator Ella Shields.[13] The lyrics of the first verse and the chorus are as follows:

[@Помогитеменя]

Many people think that during the war, the soldiers would sleep in the trenches for months at a time, though this is not true, as during the war men would stay behind the lines until their 'turn' in which they would return to the front until they are replaced once more.

[@dragons123ism]

Yes. In a typical trench tour it was unusual to spend more than 3 days in a forward position

[@jonathanbrowning4]

This is in Entente forces. The German army really did not do a good job rotating at all and would just leave divisions at the front for extended periods. Even if they did a rotation inside that division they would not get very long away. Also you have the major catastrophic battles with over 150,000 active combatants per side where the cohesion broke down a lot. Its part of the reason France mutinied in 1917, they stopped receiving promised leave essentially at all.

[@rstein926]

And sometimes soldiers may have to do more time in the trenches depending on number of deaths

[@stevekaczynski3793]

@@dragons123ism Often they would be rotated further back, though not necessarily out of range of enemy artillery. Then they might be sent further back, where they were genuinely out of enemy reach. "Rest" periods were often occupied by labouring duties, however, even if they were out of range of enemy fire. Rotating units out of the line was a risky procedure and often done at night.

[@rstein926]

A lot of people think WW1 started when Archduke Franz Ferdinand was murdered in 1914 but it was actually used to cause the leading causes of the war to fall into place. Prior to the murder war was always on the brink in Europe especially between Germany and Britain/France. Germany were a developing country since 1870 after France lose the Prussian war and they simply wanted to add their own industries and have their own colonies particularly as Britain had countries like India, Canada and Australia as colonies and France had a few in Africa. Germany were also allies with Austria-Hungary as well as Italy (who joined the allies in the war) known as the Tripal Alliance and Britain, France and Russia were allies in the Triple entente. This meant that if one nation was in trouble the other nations of the same party would intervene. Russia were also allies with Serbia due to the Slavaic population. Consequently Russia supported Serbia when Austria declared war on Serbia. Germany then declared war on both Russia and France for supporting Serbia and Russia respectively. And Britain entered the war once Germany invaded Belgium due to being allies with the Belgians since 1839. And as such the Great War had begun or as Sir Edward Grey famously quoted "The lights all over Europe were going out". Had the two parties not existed then it would had been likely the war would still break out but just in a different manner. And even though it is commonly agreed Germany started the war it was actually Serbia. Had Serbia's Black Hand terrorists not plotted the attack on Franz Ferdinand the war would had not broken out the way it did.

And lets say the parts those things are amde out of such as tracks on tanks or etc etc, that stuff could be made better for civilian use such as farming or you know transport, health, so there is always a good thing about it, And a more asd point of view but true, is that it killed enough people to hurt thr population a ton, meaning less resources being used up, and less land being taken up, ewtc etc..

No it didnt, the song was made in 1917 when the horrors of the trenches was already well established, the song satirises the entire notion of soldiering with lyrics like "Oh it's a cushy life, boys, REALLY we love it so!" and "What's the matter with lumps of onion floating around the tea?".

This song probably single Handley doomed a whole generation of boys to die forgotten by time and fire

[@aidenconley6080]

I highly highly doubt that. I'd blame actual propaganda on that, not a song that is clearly sarcastic making fun of war conditions.

[@konstantinoskalavrezos5273]

Its satire dude

[@Hereford1642]

You do not understand the song at all if that is what you take from it.

British cynism and ironism at their finest...

"A free world" You don't know what world war one was about, do you?

[@isaacschmitt4803]

Kinda reminds me from when I was in. Granted, I was safe as churches compared to these lads, but the constant backhanded whinging, sarcasm, and gallows humour part and partial to anyone that could wake up in the morning dead and whose fate is owned by a imbecile on the other side of the world.

[@acenosce3334]

imagine stewie and brian singing this against the chaos of a middle eastern battle

[@biggusdickus1994]

I don't think it was a lovely war

[@hotlan554]

1:14 Does that dude on the left not look like Hitler without a mustache?

[@calistoyew1313]

Höt Län holy crap it does.

[@brunor.1127]

Well he fought in WW1

[@WelloBello]

Höt Län The mustache hadn’t been made infamous yet. It was fairly popular before Hitler made it a cardinal sin simply by having it.
