In Flanders Fields

[christtttn]

rest in peace and thank you, those who fought for my country

[skudaarkaat1]

I can't include the damned Russians because of the barbaric way they treated the German civilian women at the fall of Berlin. They were WORSE than the Nazis, and may they all burn in hell. ZAllies like them we DON'T need!

[clydewell]

Four of my releatives are still out there two have no known grave.

Nan remembers you all.

[a19gregjockca]

it's well known that soldiers are closeted homosexuals and lesbians.

[CWCoasters]

@a19gregjockca Are you actually fucking serious? These brave men and women who put their lives on the line to defend their home nation from rising terror! And all you think about them are closeted homosexuals. Pathetic.

[a19gregjockca]

@CWCoasters i know. people who are afraid to come out are super pathetic and the army are full of ripe fruits. we agree.

[xPengwinsx]

@a19gregjockca its also well known that your a faggot and need to burn in hell.

[a19gregjockca]

@xPengwinsx yawn. you proved my case, nancy.

[grimeyb0i]

beautiful video, rip to all in flanders fields x

[JeanLouisBarrault]

The 20th century saw more cruel carnage than any previous century before it due to the Socialists and Communists who slaughtered millions. Now we are stupidly embracing both of these ideologies in America when history has proven neither work.

[edderd8]

song is called?? We shall always remember them, to bad most people of my age forget what those brave men on both sides died for.

[wimpous]

I think that you can use this as a hymn to the soldiers of both wars. It's about the pointlessness of EVERY war.

[JeanLouisBarrault]

@wimpous In a sense, all wars are pointless. In another sense, one must fight to preserve life and property and the lives of others. In this sense, these deaths were not pointless. If we had not gone to war against Germany and they were let to have their way by slaughtering innocent people, as they did in both wars, then we would just have mass slaughter without "war." I choose "war."

[tarantula203]

they aren't dead , they are still alive ... in our heards !! <3

[kansaskarl]

Sad that people don't recall this poem was written in 1918, during the First World War... not the Second.

[dudemase]

"Who was the first that forged the deadly blade? Of rugged steel his savage soul was made."-Tibullus Such a true statement. War has ravaged our species throughout the whole of our evolution but war is natural. whether it be between predator and prey or the same species. But thinking that we're sentient beings, we would be able to set aside our differences. Sadly this is not the case.

[hirsty1979]

These scenes look like Pasendale, I was there many years ago, a truly beautiful and Sobering place. May all who were lost Rest peacefully.

[BrugesFan23]

I'm from West-Flanders and it does me something every time i see those graves when I pass by

The fallen should never be forgotten. I owe them we don't speak german atm.

[Ambiorixism]

@BrugesFan23 Ieper?

[sithemon]

Hi. I have just finished our tribute to the brave forces that paid the ultimate sacrifice during the Great War. Its called Requiem for a lost generation. Please go and have a listen. Thanks

[gilesgbradley]

the fallen have paid for peace, now let us have it

[Jaceric2]

the enemies are soldiers too, just wearing different uniforms. soldiers obey orders weather they agree or not - it is the soldiers lot.

[doreyrhp]

Thank You!!!!!!

[Jaceric2]

as the old saying goes "only the dead have seen the end of war" - Platon, May all the lost souls of wars and peace times alike Rest In Peace. Werever they lived and however they died. men and wimmen of each and every religius belives and culture...

May all the lost souls Rest In Peace.

and remember :

"If we don´t end war, war will end us"

[20callenderslady]

As another moving experience, attend the ceremony at the Menin Gate in Ieper (Ypres) in Belgium. The traffic stops a few moments before the ceremony and all becomes quiet. At exactly 20:00hrs buglers from the local volunteer Fire Brigade step into the roadway and play Last Post, followed by Reveille. This has been done every night since the end of WWI with the exception of the years of occupation in WW2. It is a living memorial to those who died.

[cecbaldwin1]

@20callenderslady THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT..........GOD BLESS

[totalyruben]

@topgunphill stood in there mate went with the army brought me to tears and 60 other soldiers not very nice place but peacefull

[PeHosi]

These are all images taken in Ypres (Ieper) in Belgium, i've been there too with school, it was the most emotional experience of my life. About 150 british military cemeteries are there. You have to check Tyne Cot (also in Ypres), it's the biggest british military cemetery in europe with about 11 000 headstones. Seeing all these cemeteries makes you think...

[killkidnumber2]

In my school we went on a ww1 trenches trip to europe and saw all these allied and axis graves, it was the most depressing, most darkened day in my life. I truely respect everyone who fought for their country to preserve peace and freedom. We shall never forget the fallen. R.I.P

[150booyadragon]

my dad died in war. this stuff means alot to me

[cbaabcjosh]

"we will find them on the beaches"

churchills quate became true on june the 5th we must remember the final push off the german force in europe

we must also remember italian, german and japanies who also died

they fought not for hitler

but for there country

[boarderviking]

My friend, the trench warfare in flanders fields, aswell as the pictures of Tyne Cot refer to WWI.

[WoodyWazEre]

oh my god... if your going to quote churchill at least get it right... it's "We will FIGHT them on the beaches"

[cbaabcjosh]

sorry im rubish wiv spellin

i was speed typin and i got it wrong

well

he's my hero and idol

i want to be just like the man

[cbaabcjosh]

sorry fight them on the beaches

im terrible wiv spellin

[VNM92]

dude

1st off churchhill's quote was "We will figh hem on the beaches" and 2nd, June 6th was D-day not June 5th

[Schweinetot]

he actually said, "we will fight them on the beaches" and was referring to what the British people would do if the island was invaded in 1940.

[cbaabcjosh]

i know

spelling mistake lolol

[DaveRification]

Wonderful video in honor of our troops. Thanks :-)

[DeathFirere]

that very veteran recently finished high school, hes 107, but when hes gone, we lose the last living mark of WWI

[datalal624]

I love this song---perfect choice for a vid like this.

Now there's only one WW1 veteran left alive in Canada, and none alive in Britain. I hope that doesn't mean we'll forget the horror that was The Great War. I'm a pacifist myself, but I think wars of the past and present should always be in our memory. In this time of media manipulation and political deception, it's so easy for some to forget that we are still at war. "In Flanders Fields" is as relevant now as it was 91 years ago.

[TheMelaniewilson]

am proud of the soliders that fite for us they r so brave

[drake1314]

im singing this in choir for remembernce day

[huw154]

i salute you and all the brave soldiers that died for the lie of peace

[Jaceric2]

"not to ask the question why, just to do and die."

this really made me cry, but i don´r care. I just pray to our Lord in Heaven that all the wars would end. and the men and wimmen who died to defend our future will find peace where ever they are.

R.I.P our Heros of the past !

You Will Never Be Forgoten !

[juice279]

John Mcrae was born in the city i live in. great poem.

[wartsdlogydna]

From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, we will remember them

[TheFunnyvideos1234]

[punkrockgrl1977]

[punkrockgrl1977]

That brought tears to my eyes. The most beautiful thing I've ever seen.. I'm married to a gulf war vet, he still has nightmares... I want him to see this.

[leighparkboy]

frm a small piece of england........we will remember

[wimpous]

Thank God there were the brave soldiers of the US-Army, the Commonwealth, Canada and the Russians etc who fought in WWII .... *salutes*

But don't forget the soldiers of the Wehrmacht ... they didn't give a damn about Hitler who abandoned them => Stalingrad ....

[Ambiorixism]

@wimpous dude, the germans you're talkin about were in the Second War. This is about the First World War. But i agree with you

[sidroper]

The music is avalon by sigur ros if anyone's interested.

[chuchimikii]

"take up the quarrel with the foe"

[grindergaz]

We will Remember. We do remember, Thankyou.

[godsone4ever]

That was SO sad that so many people got killed and wounded. My Great Grandpa was in the 1st world war and my Grandpa was in the

2nd world war.Also my 2 Grandpa was in the

2nd world war. :( :( :(

[berto98]

love the video a soldier in afghanistan and all of my grandparents were veterains and my borther just was killed in the line of duty. i love them and miss them all and i am here fighting grandpa just like you wanted me to.

[Sk8terBoibabe]

Spelling error sorry to tell you, John McCae

[Sk8terBoibabe]

John McCrae**

[kingjonnyboy117]

Words will never be enough to express our gratitude and sorrow for that fought and died so that we might live better lives. We must all promise to never forget lest the atrocities occur once more. Who will join me in holding their torch high so that all see its light and are never allowed to forget. Others who might wish this to happen again must see that we stand united as one and that we will not let this happen again. I will never forget

[Grimmest117]

Thank you for remembering these honored dead. Honor what they fought for, and what they died to preserve. Keep faith with them. Pick up the torch they have passed to you, and bear it with as much courage as they did. Do not forget them, or their sacrifice, or they will not sleep though poppies grow, in Flander fields row on row. Thank you for posting this video. God bless, and keep these men, and all of you.

A Yank.

[Grimmest117]

The long march of human history has been marred bye war. Unfortunately, one doesn't get "World Peace" bye wishing for it. It seems the best humanity can hope for are "little spurts of peace". How do we get those "little spurts of peace"? What is the price of peace? The answer is sadly simple "In Flanders fields where poppies blow, between the crosses row on row".

[Neoray2006]

Thanks for your awesome comment!

[blackrose2550]

... We sang this song for choir...

[isabella7896564]

[ardiesken]

thank you all

belgium

[oddball1711]

When you go home, tell them of us

And say

That for your tomorrow, we gave our today

They suffered all

Sacrificed all

Dared all

and died

[pielord3]

so much death...

[beavethecleave]

The "red flowers" in the videos were roses fyi

[Neoray2006]

You're right, they are not the poppies metioned in the poem. But I took the pictures in the winter, and I don't believe popies grow in Wintertime :)

[speedcat9999]

@Neoray2006 if you keep snow off of them some species will

[iluvanimorphs]

i love that poem. i remember in grade 4 we memorized it and had to say it in front of the whole school. i was scared shitless.

[adena539]

R.I.P

i miss you guy so much and the death was long ago but never forgoten. and i wish for world peace and to all bless you's for being strong to life

[edwardjamesguthrie]

we will not forget  (afganistan/iraq vet)

[animesluv]

um.. thx for uploadin?

[scunnyblades]

Thank You

RIP

God Save The Queen

(Gulf Veteren)

[dreamerke]

poppies still blow in Flanders fields, I see them every day :)

[dreamerke]

uhm why did you use pics of red roses instead of the real popies?

[Neoray2006]

I know, i took pictures of the flowers standing on the cemetaries, but as you noticed very cleverly, they are not always poppies. In fact, the cemeteries I visited, didn't have poppies at all! Maybe it wasn't the season, because I made those pics in the middle of the winter (November).

[dreamerke]

It's normal they don't grow on cemeteries :) when people take care of the land poppies won't grow. I see them in practically every railway station :D

[Rafterius]

November? You should of seen many wooden crosses with poppys on. November 11th would of had many about. Rememberance day.

God save the Queen

[zannekin]

sadest thing is all those dead allied soldiers died for a country not worth die'ing for may theyr souls find peace

[ceevee369]

I would like to have some clarification on "a country not worth dying for"

It was Freedom for all they died for - and for their own country. Battle grounds moved over +30 countries in WWII..

[maestroka]

pretty pictures, but the music is just plain creepy.

[Atriples]

You mispelt larks

[Neoray2006]

Euhm, and you misspelt misspelt... Touché.

[passionfruitangel]

Excellent pictures, reminds me of when I visited the battlefields and heard the story of John McCrae.

He was working in a kind of hospital (you can visit the place) during some extreme fighting and as far as I can recall a gas attack. When he came out after a number of days working almost non stop he was greeted by someone who told him his best friend had died. Then he sat down and wrote the poem.

[starbucksnr]

I love the video! 5 stars for you, my frined. The music is so haunting and It goes well with the clips.
