My great grandpa was at passchendaele. He was a captain and only him and 4 other men from his platoon lived. The battle was hell apparently

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
When we complain about back pains and modern music. We should be reminded that to live into old age is a privelige only given to some.

Pretty brutal stuff here. War is truly terrible for everyone involved

Its Rememberance Day in the UK
Uniacker40
It's remembrance day in Canada. He is a Canadian astronaut.
BJA007
now thats just fucking confusing. Why would we/they do that? What are we, Germans?
lVlARIO
To be honest, I'm not sure that Remembrance is doing what it should these days.

Yeah this is a nice post. And in the midst of all the terrible stuff that happens it's people and family that really matter.

Worth watching ???
RandallKavanaugh
Yes, I think so. All respectfully done war movies are I think... Look also for Battle for Algiers, and Battleship Potemkin (PirateBay?)
JustMePlainAndSimple
Thank you.

Mud. Everything was mud. It swallowed people. “I died in hell”

a friend worked on the same titled paul gross film, and even his descriptions of their recreation of the mud were awful.

It's from They shall not grow old, the voice when he tells the story, It's real soul crushing.

How are you doing, young willie McBride.

If you ever get the chance, I’d recommend visiting Flanders Fields and the Passchendaele Trench Museum. Chilling, but crucial education.

I grew up in Ypres, but every time I go there it still makes an impression...
micheaBandit
I was there a FEW YEARS ago.I had nightmares guite some time fatet. I WISH that there would be NO MORE wars. Peace. Be safe
AmalaGiraffeAthlete
I forget where I was in the Netherlands, but I will never forget the statue of the mother and father in the graveyard.
CarryCase
"Mourning parents" by Käthe Kollwitz maybe? That would be Vladslo in Flanders, Belgium.
wowi5772
live in Flanders, at 20h, one must go to Menengate in Ypres. In a short, but daily ceremony, trumpeters play The Last Post. Goosebumps
peoplecalltheromanstheygothehouse
I lived in Halle for 5 years, visited Ypres many times. Many tears shed at last post!

Which Sabaton song is about that battle?
cleffy1
Flanders Fields is also really good by Sabaton, its all choir, no music, but its terribly sad
Mediumtim2
Adding to Xionis: "Angels calling" is about trench warfare in general
Xionis
There's 2. Price of a Mile specifically, and Great War more generally.

Dankje

Graag gedaan (If this is wrong it's Google's fault.)
UristImiknorris
There's also an Iron Maiden song.
