    =========== "Fields of Verdun" LYRICS ==========
    As the drum roll started on that day, heard a hundred miles away
    A million shells were fired and the green fields turned to grey
    The bombardment lasted all day long, yet the forts were standing strong
    Heavily defended, now the trap has been sprung and the battle has begun
    Descend into darkness
    303 days below the sun
    Fields of Verdun
    And the battle has begun
    Nowhere to run
    Father and son
    Fall one by one
    Under the gun
    Thy will be done
    And the judgement has begun
    Nowhere to run
    Father and son
    Fall one by one
    Fields of Verdun
    Though a million shells have scarred the land, no one has the upper hand
    From the ground above to trenches, where the soldiers make their stand
    As the trenches slowly turn to mud, and then quickly start to flood
    Death awaits in every corner, as they die in the mud, fill the trenches with blood
    Fields of execution turned to wasteland from the grass
    Thou shalt go no further it was said they shall not pass
    The spirit of resistance and the madness of the war
    So...
    Go ahead!
    Face the led!
    Join the dead!
    Though you die!
    Where you lie!
    Never asking why!
    ========= Historic Fact ==========
    The Battle of Verdun (1916) was the longest single battle of the First World War, lasting for more than 300 days. It represents one of the bloodiest battles of the war with over 700,000 combined casualties.

    My great Grand Father did Verdun, from a regiment of 3000 mens, only 5 survived, he was among those 5, he even made German prisoners,... and it got me thinking, how you can live and fight in a nightmare, seeing your fellow soldiers and close friends butchered in mass, and still spare your ennemies life when you could ? ... You need nerves of steel and cold wisedom.
    Then his son (my Grand Father) fought in Dunkerque, then joined the Résistance as he refused the redition like many others, escaped the deportation to Germany thanks to the Résistance and "took the maquis" to fight until the liberation.
    When the war was over, my Grand Father recieved a letter informaing him that as a Résistant a medal at the town hall of his city was waiting for him; and my Grand Father said :
    "My country knew where to find me when she needed me, if she wants to give me a medal, she can deliver it to me directly, she knows which house i live", and he never went to get his medal, he was a bad ass until his last breath.
    As a kid, i remember in school when we studied WWI and WWII, many other kids had Grand Fathers and Great Grand Fathers mentioned for heroïc actions in battles with official letters, old news papers relating battles with names etc.

    My grandfather fought in Verdun. He was 17 years old. When he went to enlist, the recruiting officer said no, too young and too skinny. My grandfather went two other times and was refused. He went once again. The officer said: you want to go, then go! And it was Verdun...he was wounded but fortunately not too seriously and finished the war safely.

      It was actually pretty smart (Not the red pants tho). When you step out of a trench to attack, from the angle of your ennemy in front of you what's behind you is the blue skyline. Also during long battles gunsmoke would eventually be everywhere ... And back in the days the gunsmoke was light blue. So in the end the blue uniform was a pretty good camouflage appart from being the most fashionable outfit of the great war.

    My great-grandfather was one of the 700,000 casualties at Verdun.
    He was a private with the French, Shot in the leg during an assault in in no mans land. He would have stayed there if it weren't for the fact that the Battalion Colonel was also wounded to him right next to him. When the stretcher bearers came to collect the colonel, they collected my great-grandfather as well. He survived the war but walked with a severe limp the rest of his life -his souvenir from Verdun.
