This is a heartbreaking story. She cared first and foremost about saving lives, even at the cost of her own. The good she did has lived on.
I am an American with Scot, English and French ancestry. I appreciate all of your efforts in being the past back to the present.
An extremely courageous person. She showed Allied men as well as the enemy, we can do anything men can. Fight shoulder to shoulder, sometime ahead of men, but never behind.....
That was absolutely brilliant. Perhaps your best so far. But, we must not forget you are just starting this journey.
You brought this story to life, that young man, that is called talent.
Thank you. 😊
Thank you very much
Such incredible spirit. Her belief was so much stronger than fear. Inspiring.
Excellent presentation
One of your best
I had heard the name of this lady but knew nothing about her. You have filled that gap for me so I thank you.
A phenomenal heroin and her story told phenomenally well by you Sir!
So far as I know, you have found a unique niche in telling of lives and incidents from history in East Anglia and I am sure similar channels covering other regions could arise, or perhaps you could look into them when material from your own region is exhausted.
I am so pleased that your work is starting to bear fruit but I know how you hate video editing. Wouldn't it be wonderful if a suitable collaborator came along to complement your undoubted research and storytelling skills. But that would need to be a very special person as your productions come from your heart and nothing must spoil that.
Best wishes young man.
Thank you very much. I am sure there are many others doing the same for their areas of the country I am subscribed to a couple of similar ones.
Thank you for this chapter. I had a vague idea of who Nurse Cavell was and what she did or how she died. My niece was born in the Edith Cavell hospital in Brussels, where I first heard her name. She certainly deserves every monument and mountain and memorial around the world. What a woman!
A well known street is named after Edith Cavell in Port Louis,the Capital of Mauritius.
This well presented video, highlights the brute cruelty that has been / is inflicted by mankind on mankind. This cruel show does carry on still today unabated!
One dares not think what went in the mind of Edith Cavell, seconds before the fatal bullet took away her life.
My goodness - I had no idea that her fame had spread to Mauritius! She lives on. 🙂
Great presentaion, well researched and narrated as usual! Thank you! 🇬🇧
Thank you, I really enjoy all your videos. I’m pretty deaf and there’s very few videos I can hear without captions. You speak so clearly and lucidly I do not need captions but thank you for them anyway. Sometimes it is easier. What a wonderful woman - war brings out the best in most people but It can also - sadly - bring out the worst of humanity. The phrase “ sadly there are too many memorials’ - isn’t that so sad. Humanity must find a way to get on otherwise we will doom ourselves. Bless the woman 🙏🙏👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you, I'm not at the level yet where I can add my own subtilties I believe you need over 10K subs for that and the auto one are not very good, But I plane to add them if and when I can. All I meant by the memorial comment is there is so many I would probably had to 10 mins just to list them all.
Well, as I said, you speak so well and clearly I don’t need them. Well done, not many people do 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👵👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
That was a very interesting story. Thankyou for uploading! Having read her book, it was interesting watching this video. RIP Edith Cavell, how sad she died the way she did. =( God Bless her!
Wonderful presentation. This was the first "A Little Bit of History" I tuned in to. I came across the biographical novel The Story of Nurse Cavell by Reginald Berkeley and since my ancestors hail from Norfolk I was intrigued. Thank you so much
Excellent, thanks very much ❤
My late Mother came from Great Yourmouth and she told Me a lot about Edith Cavel and I Certainly admire her and More so for what she did and she was a very Brave Woman
No words.....tears.....
Beautifully done. It made me feel very sad and a bit tearful. I live in Norwich just one street away from College Road where Edith’s mum lived.
May this very brave lady rest in eternal peace.
Edith is my great, great, auntie. My dad always bragged about her. Now I know why. I feel proud to be a part of her lineage. She was truly the best of us.
Indeed, you should be very proud.
I first heard about her roughly 50 years ago and I have just been telling a young lady all about her. She definitely deserves to be remembered. 🙂
I love this channel it's always well presented.
Excellent thankyou
just came across this. My friends live in the old vicarage in Steeple Bumstead where, in 1886, Edith Cavell was governess to the vicar’s children. There is a blue plaque commemorating this. What an amazing woman.
What an incredible Lady was Edith Louisa Cavell truly a woman of substance. Its so sad thinking she was imprisoned with a trial pending. She was so brave and she put others first and foremost.
Brilliant thank you from Shipdham Norfolk
This was very well researched and presented. Your work is much appreciated.
Thankyou for the Reminder .Be Blessed.
Fantastic presentation. I look forward to hearing you on my weekend. . Keep going mate.
I pray that as an RN myself...that I would have done the same! Makes me proud of my profession!
This is my great grandmother. Nice video.
Excellent as always :)
Your videos are wonderful, thank you for the upload.
The best my lineage has ever produced. She's my great great auntie and i am so proud of her.
Thank you fit sharing!! I really enjoy your videos!! Keep up the great work!!🙂
Let's hope we find a few decent souls here on Earth with us, as this new war begins today. Great video, ta. xx
Enjoyed that, thanks.
very sad
Amazing human being.
Mate... never stop doing this! I hated history as a kid for some reason but this shit is so interesting as I live near fakenham (Norfolk)
I will be honest I was never greatly interested in history at school, they made it just politics or a way to broad to understand or largely care about, I find if you start small you can get people much more interested.
my late wife a nurse had a statue of Edith Cavell with a date and DAWN
She was a spy by aiding the escaping , she also sought out military information to pass on if she were a German doing the same she would have met the same fate at the hands of the Royal Army !
If I was going to be honoured in such a manner I would rather people celebrate my life and achievements on my Birthday rather than the day I was murdered.
I was very undecided on when I should do her presentation this month or in December for her Birthday.
I think it was pretty foolhardy to make the decision to go back to Belgium knowing the war had started, knowing she could have practiced nursing at home, and considering the history between France and Germanic states before and after unification, one would be foolish to think Belgian neutrality would hold out, and that one would be safe residing and working there. It was basically a big buffer between them, and of course would be invaded. I’m sure she realized what her fate would be if caught aiding soldiers
True but by that point her life was there, not to mention her friends, students and pets. Plus their was the belief that Belgium being Protected by Britain would kept them safe, sadly very misguided.
Sometimes it can appear to be personally foolhardy to do the best one can for others at one's own personal risk or cost.
This is what makes the lady a very special and exalted person. She represents the very best of humanity and the levels they can attain.
