Love this song. Used to sing it with a group of friends when i was 19. It always made me cry. Agree it is the best anti-war song. My grandfather went off to the Great War as a 19 yr old. Apparently he rarely spoke of it except to say no son of his would ever go to war. It makes me cry now when i think of the teenagers being forced to fight in Ukraine.

Yes a very sad song but sung so Beautifully. I too am a Veteran and am thankful to my brothers and sisters who served and died in service to our country. Just sad that politics takes over and reigns how we live.

My grandfather was killed 80 years ago today on a pre invasion training exercise, 8 months before my dad was born. I went on to sign on, my dad was both torn and proud. This song just rips me apart.

@@brucecollins641 I did discover it after I wrote that comment. I saw a video of Eric singing it. When I saw some of the picture that accompanied the song I realized he was Scottish. What a tribute to those brave men . So sad that it appears all their blood was shed in vain after the way the governments of the countries are going. I had a lot of family in the American Revolution and now we are going down hill faster than dropping an anvil out of an airplane.

I lost a great uncle only a few weeks before the end of the war. He did not have to go into combat because of his hearing but he wanted to go and also paid the ultimate price. They brought him home to Pennsylvania in 1947 and had a military funeral . As far as I know all of my relatives survived the Revolutionary War, Lost some in the Civil War, World War Two and Vietnam. I remember the end of a poem from WW2 that read" When I die, to St Peter I will tell- One More Marine Reporting Sir-I've served my time in Hell". One of my most prized possessions is a picture my dear friend Fred Dean took of the First Flag on Mt Suribachi Iwo Jima . He was with the 11th Tractor Battalion 5th Marines. Not long before he died he told me about having run over our own troops that were dead and dying because they could not stop. I cannot imagine living with that for over 60 years ??? GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND !!!

A real holocaust. I remember reading in Voyage au bout de la Nuit the scene in the trenches when the writer records that he found himself shooting at Germans. He asked himself what he had against Germans and then realised with a bit of a shock that he had never even met a single German in his life! That episode stayed in my mind as a reminder of the bloody absurdity of that insanity. This song brings it home too. Ireland was right to get out of it.

My good friend's Dad and Brother were in the German Army in WW2. It gives you a great insight into the stupidity of war. He said " do you think those German Boys wanted to die any more than the American's "? They had families and homes too. His brother could not get a job because he refused to join the Nazi party but when the war came he had one. He was one of the thousands of German Soldiers marched into Russia after the war and never heard of again ?
