- On the 11 November 1920, the Cenotaph - Britain's National War Monument - was unveiled in London. Originally erected for the First World War, it today commemorates the 1.27 million British service personnel who have lost their lives since 1914. To mark this Anniversary, and that of the 11 November 1918 Armistice, I share the stories of eleven soldiers who have served in the British Army over the past 100 or so years.
This video is dedicated to the men and women who have served, and continue to serve, in the British Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and Royal Marines.
"When you go home tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow we gave our today."

On the 100th Anniversary of the unveiling of the Cenotaph and the 102nd of the end of the First World War, I'd like to also pay tribute to three veterans of the Second World War who are sadly no longer with us.
- George Wane, 4th Battalion King's Shropshire Light Infantry, 11th Armoured Division. George served in Normandy and during the liberation of Antwerp in 1944. I had the honour of meeting him and his family in August 2016. George passed away in December 2017.
- Jack Griffiths, Glider Pilot Regiment, 1st and 6th Airborne Divisions. Jack served in Normandy and at Arnhem, the latter where he was taken Prisoner of War. I met Jack in his Norfolk home in September 2017 where we spoke about his role during Operation Market Garden. Jack passed away in November 2017.
- Robert Noody, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. Robert served in Normandy, at Eindhoven and at Bastogne before ending up at Berchtesgaden. Robert was the first veteran I had the opportunity of meeting when he was on a visit to Aldbourne, England in May 2014. Sadly, Robert Noody passed away in April 2020.
We Will Remember Them
You are amazing letting people of a few of the amazing solders that fought for their nation
Thank you for sharing :) their names are written in the stars :)
Thank you for sharing Liveth For Evermore.
To many of us they were simply "Dad" or "Grandad".
For our country they are rightfully immortalised as heroes.
Nice video and very informative and very entertaining and very satisfaction more videos.
Thanks for sharing their stories, brother. Never forget.
Good to see you here, i enjoy your videos brother.
Damn, the picture of Private John's parents standing at the grave of their dead son really struck me. I hope we learned from those wars that we should stand together and never fight each other again.
This is a beautiful tribute to those who were brave enough to oppose tyranny and say out loud "You will not pass under my watch". Special people, all of them. I cannot thank you enough for my freedom. RIP. Thanks for the video, very special.
Very well put together - LEST WE FORGET
“Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.” -Herbert Hoover
These men are braver than any politician could ever be
So, so many individual stories from our history are being lost to time. Thank you for this memorial. Each lost soul lives in our hearts and minds.
They are being lost in part due to contemporary sensitivities which dictate to us that to celebrate our war dead is not "progressive".
Many Liberal upper middle-class educators, policy makers and scholars believe that the act of remembrance does little but "Glorify" war and leaves an unpleasant aftertaste of imperialism, Empire and exploitation.
Lest We Forget...
We remember the crew of the HMT Bedfordshire. On the 10th May 1942, while assisting the US Navy with anti-submarine operations off of Cape Lookout, North Carolina, the Bedfordshire was lost with all hands when she was torpedoed by a German U-Boat. Over the month, the bodies of 2 of the Bedfordshire sailors, Sub. Lt. Thomas Cunningham, husband and father to a newborn son whom he would never meet, and Ordinary Telegraphist Stanley Craig, along with 2 unknown sailors of either Royal Navy or Royal Canadian Navy, washed up Ocracoke Island and buried with military honors in a small graveyard in the village of Ocracoke. In 1976, a deal was stuck to lease the small cemetery plot and another small British Sailor Cemetery on nearby Hatteras Island in perpetuity to Great Britain. On Ocracoke, a nearby plaque reads: " “If I should die think only this of me
/That there’s some corner of a foreign field/That is forever England.” Lest We Forget
Aye, many are the times that looking out over water I have pondered those sweet souls of Brave and Great Men who rest neath the waves, and and Hearts broken on that far shore. We Honor You and those families who gave all too.
Reading unit war diaries, there were many, many acts of individual heroism took place daily that went unnoticed. It was a day in the life at war. Thank you for this excellent video. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
Sad. The cream of the youth of their countries. Ordinary men and women, each brave and determined to do their duty. Society suffers by their absence. We will remember them all.
In a twist of sad irony, my grandfather fought in WW1 with the Black Watch, Royal Highland Regiment of Canada and survived from beginning to end, including Vimy Ridge. He lost his leg in a work accident a few years later. His son, my uncle also fought in WW2 with the very same regiment and was killed only weeks after D-Day 1944. In an even more sad irony, my father who was only just too young to fight in WW2 found out by complete accident that his best friend held my uncle in his arms when he died. Lest We Forget...
We will remember them.
Guard the halls till we regroup, beautiful tribute, as a Yankee thank you for including some of our hero's who made the ultimate sacrifice, There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for his brother's, 🙏🏻😢
Divided by an expanse of ocean.
Yet forever shoulder to shoulder in defiance of those who endeavour to wish harm upon us.

gone but never forgotten
Thank you and well done for making this tribute video to our fallen. Fear Naught.
Thank you for remembering our boys as well. You Brits are something else. ❤️🇺🇸
"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."

Nothing but love. I miss the mad minute and the brotherhood. Your channel keeps that alive. Thank you.

An incredibly powerful, moving video - thank you
Poignant video,and the fact you included some distant relation (Wo2 Jellyman)adds to the effect and relevance even for todays society.We will Never forget them.
I agree with you about that. liveth forevermore I’m sorry for your loss my grandfather on my mom’s side got wounded during the Vietnam war he was the only survivor from his fire team he lived up to 57 when he died of leukemia caused by agent orange
They shall not grow old. We owe a debt....KEEP ALL THEY FOUGHT FOR.
From an Aussie Afghan veteran, thank you for making these videos. Lest We Forget
I hope your doing well mate
R.I.P to all that gave the Ultimate sacrifice from wherever your from I salute you.
Respect Sir..... WE WILL NEVER FORGET ..
A very moving and heartfelt tribute to the military who quietly went about their jobs, knowing that they could die defending the freedoms that everyone automatically assumes are their rights. Thanks and let us never forget their sacrifices, especially on Veterans Day, here in the US.
They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun
We will remember them.
To all the brave men women who have lost their lives in combat rest easy and to all those who continue to fight for our freedoms thank you
Beautiful
Never forgotten
RIP to everyone who payed the ultimate sacrifice ❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸🇳🇿🇫🇷
Thank you for your work and unending gratitude to those who sacrificed everything while in the line of duty, British or American.
"I only regret that I have but one life to [give] for my country."
Well said.
And .. The ANZACS.
@@jimcottee9187
In Britain the ANZACS, Canadians, Indians, Caribbeans, and all brave men of the Commonwealth the world over, are held in the most high esteem and afforded our collective respect for answering the call and standing shoulder to shoulder with us.
I love all my brothers!

We all fight for the free exchange of ideas, the right to self-determination and a representative republican form of government.
Please do one on HMS Royal Oak which went down on 14th October 1939 with 835 crew lost. Of those lost was the biggest number of 14 and 15 yr old
boy Sailors ever lost by the Royal Navy, indeed due to the devastating loss of boys, never again would that be allowed to happen. One of these boys lost
was 15 yr old Maurice Ryall, listed as a signaller, my great uncle, who was just one of those many many heroic Boys....
God Bless the boy of the Oak and when the left are desecrating our monuments of remembrance, may we fight back with their valour and righteousness.
Respect

Went through personal hell, too many stories for any one person to tell or to be able to take in. Respect ✊
This is absolutely top class!!!!! Never forget.
Amazing content. Never stop making videos man.
My father travelled from Dublin in 1939 aged 19 to Liverpool where upon arrival he enlisted in the RASC to become a vehicle mechanic. He was attached to the Desert Rats and served mostly in N Africa though he was in Europe for a while too.
Dad left the army in the late 1940s as a WO2 and settled in the small town where I was later born in the early 1970s. Dad had been present in several major battles and came through everything without even a scratch.
When I tried asking dad about the war all he'd say was, I was lucky and then he'd go quiet. I learned not to ask.
Dad lived long enough to be present at my Passing Out Parade and for that I'm glad. He seemed to swell in size and barely leant on his walking stick. For me it was good to hear my training corporals, sergeant and officer calling dad sir and showing the utmost respect to him.
I m proud supporterl of this excellent channel
Perfect video for remembrance. Thanks you. Respect
I live in Dunstable and that is an incredible video!!! Happy to see cpt. Baker getting the recognition he deserves!! Lest we forget.
This is an important reminder of the chaos and randomness of war. Heroic soldiers often die in sudden and non heroic ways. It is important that we remember these soldiers who died to random artillery and builders as much as remember those who died showing Valour and courage in combat with the enemy.
Thankyou for this moving tribute. I would like to add that chance is really the most significant factor on the battlefield.. I've been in several of the places where these soldiers were killed, on operational service. Nothing happened to me. But it could have, if I had been in the same spot at the wrong time. Chance.
On behalve of the Netherlands: Thanx to all the allies that fought for our freedom and the progress and future it brought. I would specially give the names of 11 French soldiers who left France on the 11th of may and came to our village to defend us on the 11th of may and fought the 12th of may against the German SS and Wehrmacht: Jean Bazilla, Victor Duchatel, Fortuné Duvinage, Henri Gudin, Joseph Herault, Jean Huron, Jules Ladurella, Marcel Laversin, Marcel Loury, Pierre Molliére, Vivien Vernon. Thank you brave men.
What is your village name?

You probably hear this a lot, but thank you for doing what you do. Be their living memorial. Be the proof that they were here, that they once existed.
America and British forever allies 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Well done ! May all of our fallen Rest In Peace
Thank you for the beautiful rememberence video. We will remember them.
War is hell, and still millions of men and women are ready to give their life for the wellbeing of others. Shall we not mourn, but insted celebrate their true allegiance and commitment to a noble cause. Lest we forget.
I stayed in Elst last year while visiting Arnhem for the 75th Anniversary of Market Garden,
I visited Arnhem War Cemetery three times, it was such a moving experience,
There are nearly 1800 men laid to rest there, including twin brothers of 21 who were killed in minutes of each other,
R.I.P. warriors, you will never be forgotten,
At the going down of the sun,
And in the morning,
We will remember them,
We will remember them.
Putting faces to these stories really hits home how important this is. Thank you for creating.
We will remember them
no words !
Nice change of pace to remember the every day soldiers who lost their lives. Tears in my eyes the whole video.
As always, a well put together video. No Hollywood heroics, just squaddies doing their duty. A very moving presentation of heroes. I will remember them all at 11:00 tomorrow morning.
Thankyou. This means much to those who have shared in the sacrifice.
Thank you for posting this poignant Remembrance video.
Lest we forget...
I'm glad you tell their stories and of their courage. And, of course, it speaks for all the others selfless courage with it. Thanks. I want to remember and be grateful to them. For all I have. All I have.
Dam, very very touching. Superb work and thanks to all who serve and have served.
Two of my great great uncles (they were brothers) died in the first world war. The oldest was a professional soldier in the west Kent's before the war and was killed on 24th August 1914. His younger brother was in the machine gun Corp and was killed on 24th October 1918.
For Veteran’s day, I want to thank you- for sharing these and so many more stories of the heroes
I have a tear in my eye from watching this . Rest in piece brave soldiers
Excellent tribute to a few of those that made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom and safety we have today.
Absolutely love your channel man. Keep up the amazing work.
Love what you do brother, keep it up for these brave men
Happy Birthday, Marines
The British were along the many who sacrifed everything for the free world and who were willing to fight a menace against freedom..,.., Never forget,., and make sure that that those brave men are remembered,.,.. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇳🇿 🇮🇳
Rewatching this two months late however does not change the fact of how powerfully moving this video is. These are standard stories of exceptional people. Lest We Forget.
Aspiring CMT myself, LCpl Gillons story hit quite close. Thank you LfE. And have a great year.
My grandfather James Paterson of Helensburgh Scotland was wounded and lost an arm in WW1. He carried his mate, who lost his leg, for several miles to safety. They were the only survivors. My father Tom Paterson was in Berlin at the end of WW2 when a sniper narrowly missed him, the round went through the open hatch of a Tank and killed two men. I almost wasn't here enjoying my today but thanks to luck or fate I am, and had I not left England at the age of 12 I would have been a Soldier too - I was already in the Cadets. The sad thing is we're at the same point again in spite of the sacrifice our ancestors made. The Human Race has a long way to go before we finally emerge from the kindergarden as wise men and ready to take full responsibility for our selves. If we dont hurry up, soon it will be the Earth itself that (hopefully) narrowly survives the unbelievable pollution and waste caused by war while the morons in charge rabbit on about "climate change" and "Reset" so they can remain in charge and continue the carnage that they caused in the first place. REFUSE to participate take RESPONSIBILITY for yourself and GROW UP! That is the reset we need...
Thank you. This was another great one
good video! they are good people
RIP. Eternal thanks to all who have served their country. Lest we forget♥️
Lest We Forget 😢😢
