[mrst269]

Up most respect for these men and the ones in the 2nd World war and the ones out fighting know and those who will be in the future.

[UsagiDreams]

I lost my great-great-grandfather in the war. Obviously I wasn't around then, but my great-grandfather (whom I did know) was 10 when his father was killed.

[bcoy17sqn]

[edders05]

Probabyl too late - but this is 'Nimrod' by Sir Edward Elgar.

For the Fallen,

by Laurence Binyon (21st September, 1914)

With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,

England mourns for her dead across the sea.

Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,

Fallen in the cause of the free.

[MacArthurPiper]

Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal

Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.

There is a music in the midst of desolation

And a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,

Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncountered:

They fell with their faces to the foe.

[MacArthurPiper]

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;

They sit no more at familiar tables at home;

They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;

They sleep beyond England's foam.

[MacArthurPiper]

But where our desires are and our hopes profound,

Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,

To the innermost heart of their own land they are known

As the stars are known to the Night;

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,

Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;

As the stars are starry in the time of our darkness,

To the end, to the end they remain.

[TashkentFox]

It's a shame conscription wasn't in force in Ireland in WWI because Michael Collins would have been blown to bits.

[chorizopher]

When You Go Home,

Tell Them Of Us And Say,

For Their Tomorrow,

We Gave Our Today.

RIP

Kind regards.

[AKAnuclearted]

Great video... very moving. Proud to be British, Proud to be English & Proud of my brothers who have given their lives.

Elgars Nimrod.. best music for this type of video.. good work fella

[Angus333McBride]

Im proud of my great grandfather Angus McBride one of the Cameron highlanders.

He survived but all his friends died but 1 who ended up in a shell shock.

Let us remember the death hero's.

[smokeymcgibz]

my papa was a chindit in the cameronian highlanders over in burma, very lucky to come home left a very big pyscholical impact on him

[fisherking131]

Fantastic video.

Well done.

My partner and I go over to BBelgium and France 2 or 3 times a year, simply to visit the war graves and pay our respects.

RIP.

[dobbsy111]

this video makes me proud but it also makes me sick to think of all the scum bags roaming our streets dealin drugs robbing people attacking old ladies and old men not realising what these people did for our country the ungreatful cunts " o im all hard cus i carry a gun and put my hand down my trousers an rub my cock"(bellends) i say we send people lyk this off to the gazza strip wif their little 9 millys or knifes then see how hard they are!

[nitrambran]

God bless them all,we will remember them

[cockneymark]

PROUD TO BE BRITISH.

[diak2000]

Last time I checked Canada was part of the Commonwealth, they took the ridge in WWI and Juno beach in WWII

[kidfromcanadia]

yeah, the last time i checked my country played a huge roll in both wars. Canadians old and young remember. Lest We Forget.

[TrueblueBilly]

So what would you have me do?, get History to rewrite the poem - For The Fallen.

As for the Canadians that died God rest you soul we will never forget the price they paid for our freedom.

[TimpleTapper]

No one has to rewrite For The Fallen - where it says "England mourns her dead across the sea - just say Canada mourns her dead across the sea - whether the fallen came from Canada or Britain they all died for our freedom - so lets not quarrel over unimportand things - Let's Honour them all!!

[wellingtonian]

Remember the ANZACS!

[13171317]

i never said the young ones never remembered i was replying to the other comment, from me to you young man many repects

[GRFC51]

when the good and true of the 36th ulster divison were at the somme the yellow rebels had an uprising. i'm not saying the irish are thick but the took over the post office i guess they really neeeded that giro

[TrueblueBilly]

13171317 why don't you tell everyone how many St.Andrews crosses the Celtic fans have at Celtic park? good men died in the name of your national flag and you sold your own country out for the tricolour you traitor.

[13171317]

pathetic, shame on you bringing that crap up on here shame on you hold you head down in shame.

[TrueblueBilly]

You started with the anti-English comments after all they quote the same poem every year at the cenopath yet only now you have problem with it, i myself im also an ex army so please leave it out, judging your comments you where properly a crap hat.

[13171317]

i was'nt anti-english if you read my comment's again i was pro scottish and pro brittish, your the one that mentioned the football team i support. go judge youself

[TrueblueBilly]

To the idoits quoting the England thing next time read the video description is says and a qoute "A tribute to all Britains Heroes" lay of the lad its a cracking video.

[13171317]

so why pick an english poem then. next time mind your own fucking business you twat.

[TrueblueBilly]

Lets see you make a better tribute, you can because the Irish colluded with Nazis so....please go and fly ya tricolor somewhere else

[13171317]

iv served my country "britain" not england, britain. so you go count the flags. so safe you biggetry for you wife

[cdjohntv]

prick we were once a major thorn in the brits side for 800 years and ye couldnt take our country.

[AMason8634]

What a nice remembrance!  There were also good Irish Catholics as well as Irish Protetants who fort along side the British soldiers in the battle of Somme and lost their lives too. All should be remembered.

[shurms]

"England mourns her dead" - and what of the hundreds of thousands of Scots, Irish, Aussies, Indians, and Anzacs she sent to their graves?

[McDuffFTM]

Maybe i was quoting the poem "for the fallen"

[13171317]

we mabe you should quot another poem and show some respect, (england this and england that)if it's too much work to find something more aptt, you should'nt have bothered.

[Norsk1224]

shurms i think by england he means britain. British cunts!?Wernt the irish once "british?" guess not.

[13171317]

and us the scottish

[filthyone777]

From the U,S," THANK YOU "

[FaceFlab]

We shall never forget their sacrifice then nor now!

This vid is excellent and puts mine to shame. The British Armed Forces has for a thousand years kept our island safe and will continue to do so.

[kathannon]

God Bless England and a friend.

[redhandrfc]

lest we forget,I always find time to chat to old timers and thank them for wot they did,not many left now who saw the Great War,it was supposed to be the war to end all wars

[Phlegmwahn]

I never thought much of the Royal Artillary either

[m52spy]

The Ra are no more, they capitulated. Ask sinn fein. lol they could not fight england get real.

[oly4d]

Very moving.... on Remembrance day.

[timhilluk]

Yes I'm happy to remember them every year. But the images of the first world war remind me of the idiocy of war and the disregard the people who started and continued it had for ordinary men and women. Jean Jaures was right - we should have had a general strike in August 1914. That would have stopped the toffs in their tracks!

[McDuffFTM]

I agree but somtimes war is a necessary evil.

[timhilluk]

Yes it is. I would never have written the same about WW2. But in fact I prefer to see 1914-45 as a 30-year war. If we hadn't had the first...

[cowboy1000000]

As much as I hate war, I agree that at times it is nessacary. Freedom isn't free.

[2rets]

england mourns i thought it was britain

[McDuffFTM]

Realy it should be Britian IMO as i class myself as British but i was quoting the poem "FOR THE FALLEN" :)

[2rets]

fair point my old man and his fanatics pals were poles lost everything even when the war was over they couldnt even go home

[cowboy1000000]

I wish us Americans took WW1 as seriously as you Brits do. Here in america, WW1 is often overlooked and neglected. Thats a crying shame.

[GRFC51]

cowboy iv'e just resd ur comment from 4 mths ago on the post for the fallen that's a shame ww1 is over looked by the us as all men and women who lay down their lives for their country should be honoured as we rember the men of the 36th ulster divison who fought at the somme and many other conflicts right up to the present day

[B2091]

unfortunatly most of the younger generations today are to busy satisfying there own lives to remember what is that if it wasnt for these brave men and women we wouldnt be free today. I thankyou for creating this video, horpfully people may see it and others like similar, and it may occur to them, just what these brave soldiers gave, the ultimate sacrifice so that future geneartions may live in freedom, LEST WE FORGET!

[13171317]

how do you know what the younger generation are to busy living there own live to remember, im sure they do , and living there own lives that was the point

[UlstersHistory]

never 4get how lucky we are thanks to them people

Rule Britannia
