    And in the morning,
    We will remember them

      Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
      Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
      Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
      And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
      Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
      But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
      Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
      Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.
      Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!-An ecstasy of fumbling
      Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
      But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
      And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.-
      Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
      As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
      In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
      He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
      If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
      Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
      And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
      His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
      If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
      Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
      Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
      Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,-
      My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
      To children ardent for some desperate glory,
      The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
      Pro patria mori.
      (Wilfred Owen)

      @@reezdogThat must have been amazing whether school children knew it or not. I was born in 1999 and when I was in primary school they brought in old people to tell us about WW2. One veteran and others who were children at the same school I went to during WW2. They told us about what school life was like during the war and how they remembered the war sirens.
      I doubt many schools now bring in WW2 veterans, WW1 is off the table.

    My great grandfather fought in WW1. He was ethnic German from Budapest, back when it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire; his family immigrated to US around the turn of the century and he fought in the US Army. I was told he survived a poison gas attack with minor injuries. WW1 was an unbelievably horrible war, and when you consider that its ending sowed the seeds for WW2, it was one of the worst events that ever befell Western Civilization.

    Four years condensed into 6 and a half heart-breaking minutes.
    Further: "Of the 60 million European military personnel who were mobilised from 1914 to 1918, an estimated 8 million were killed, 7 million were permanently disabled, and 15 million were seriously injured." - Wikipedia
    That's a 50% casualty rate, not even including lesser wounded who were probably sent back to the trenches as soon as they were fit enough.

    Unfortunately, most of the infantry “combat” footage is staged for news reels. There is real infantry combat footage from WWI out there, but not a lot. It’s usually filmed quite far away from the action so that’s your key give away if you’re trying to find it

    • @ShHeMiLeRe
      @ShHeMiLeRe Před měsícem +1

      Same for the Spanish-American War. Filmed in the US, there were even scenes of naval warfare obviously filmed with models and the only real footage is of the troops on horseback riding somewhere. I'm sure it's the same for the Boer War and any other conflict until WWI or maybe the Balkan Wars or the Italo-Turkish War.

    I find the Great War endlessly fascinating, far more so than WW2. The Great War was the pivot between a world I don't recognise, top-hats, horses, carriages, pocket-watches, and the world as I know it, of cars, tanks, submarines and planes. The optimism of the early century turned to pessimism and fear of the future, and it has never come back.

    The accent of the narrator is quite peculiar. It really sounds like a commistionnof a general british and a texan accent. Anyway WW1 is one of my favourite historical events. Really horrific, the first war of the industrial revolution where machines were fully employed (submarines, tanks, airplanes, and then the flamtjroqers, the gas and so on. It mus jave been horrible)

The pronunciation of Chorizo varies enormously along with Parmigiano, the US change the G to an S and drop the O
