You mean Horrific Yes its weird! english is weird? terrific means it was brilliant, But horrific means, it was terrible, so im taking you mean it was horrific not terrific unless you think the war was brilliant which I don't think so
My grand-grand fathers and uncles were trench soldiers.(A Fleming) After the gaz attacks the English soldiers came to the farm of my grand grand mother en father and they helped them giving them new clothes, cleaning them and gaving them shelter and food and company. My grand mother learned them how to play piano. My grand-grand uncle couldn't speak about it, he was traumatized and designed a crown for the Maria Statue in the cathedral of Antwerp, it is still there. To thank God he survived this war.
Yeah, my grandpa was 19 and was on a ship (USS Sumter) at pearl harbor when it was attacked. He survived, but I never got to meet him, and according to my parents, he was never the same.
My nanas father harry went in world war2 he survived 1 shot the the head and 1 shot to the hand he was 16 when it happened I am very honored because I went and placed a flower thing on the memorial it is very speical and that's why I'm honard
I'm really impressed by this video. The student who did most of the speaking, I commend you for your knowledge and for your compassion for those who experienced World War I. I agree with Markus Fahrner, it is important to remember for the sake of the soldiers who served, but also because we do NOT want something like this to be repeated. I teach US History / Social Studies in the suburbs of Chicago.
I don't think the minds of men at war are any different. My grandpa was ww2 vet he fought in the navy and one of his missions was D-Day. He said after the firing had stoped they were driving in tanks, his tank operator went crazy and started driving over bloated dead bodies to hear them pop. He had PTSD extreamly bad bud wouldn't talk about it. When I'd wake him up it was by shaking his foot or yelling grandpa from his door. He was cold man but a good one and raised me well.

He was also in the 377 Infantry Division Regiment. He was part of the break - though at the Siegfried line.
My grandfather never came back from the war!!!! It really pisses me off when I see less people every year wearing poppies around this time of year!!! Lest we forget‼️‼️‼️
There was never a moment in my life in the past 20 years, if not more, when I wouldn't have been able what day World War 1 ended. But it took me very long to realise why CBC News is posting videos on this topic this month. On a way more serious note: World War 1 has effects that last until today. Think about this next time you're about to say "Thank you for your service" to a veteran or military member you know joined the forces 100 % voluntarily.
Can you imagine 18 year olds today being conscripted to go to war? Many can’t handle being told someone has a different viewpoint than them and they need a safe space.
In peace full time there was a trench near my home in country town I used to stay overnight with my friends there i just loved it and enjoyed alot And i felt very safe while sleeping in trenches
It’s different for you, my friend. You weren’t under constant artillery fire, you didn’t see someone fall, you didn’t hear the screams of the wounded or smell the rotting bodies
German trenches Commander: hello soldier here is your suit key make sure to take your gun too Soldier: ahh thanks serving in the military is better than living in a normal house.
Not only 18 year olds but boys who were younger than that were fighting in the British Army. In fact in WWII on D-Day there was a medic who lied about his age to fight, unfortunately he was killed by a German. I believe he was around 15 when he died but I'm not entirely sure.
its not gonna be like this anymore itll be alot more complex and instead of worrying about getting shot in the head while sleeping, or a trench collapsing on you youd have to worry about getting mowed down by a fighter plane
I don't understand how people are able to think history is boring. Cause history has been dramatic, full of interesting characters, adventure, and discovery. And that all happened.
As a Newfoundlander I can say that the 12000 Newfoundland soldiers fought as strong as they could, with many dying at Beaumont-Hamel. RIP to all soldiers who died in World War 1
Much respect to you for making this video, and bringing to live what life was like in the trenches, but please stop calling these people kids, they were mature men (as most were men and women but majority fighting were men) who had earnt that right not only by age but for what they had gone through not to be called kids.
That is actually very clean compare to what the trenches were like. A great film to show this is called “journeys end” and it won many awards for recreating the experience and the conditions of the trenches at the time.
“All Quiet on the Western Front” is probably the most accurate about the common soldiery of WW1. The original book was literally written by a Great War veteran, after all.

Fun Fact: The trenches were actually smaller and very dirty during WW1.
most of them.
Not to mention muddy and sometimes swamped with water up to the waist. The film They Shall Not Grow Old shows the true nature of these trenches.
Also they would get trench foot
The front trenches are small the ones behind them are bigger

Apparently only in well established sections of trench there were duckboards (the wood you walk on) oftentimes it was mud below foot.
The cars in the back: mum I think our car is a time machine
German trenches
Commander: hello soldier here is your suit key make sure to take your gun too
