  • You know, I wish people would read my main page and understand my vids are not done for your bloody politics. I was born in Scotland, but I am British, my Father was English. His dad fought in WW1 and was at the Somme 1916. Jacobiker, get your damn History straight, Britain went to war in 1914 because Germany invaded Belgium, an ally. Would Britain have gotten involved without that? Im sure she would have been pulled in eventually. The other nations were building empires too. So you dont blame 1

  • Ceremonial objects were of great importance for morale. All the standards carried by both sides would have had enormous honour attached to them and to lose them would be considered a disgrace.

    What's the point of having a ceremonial sword if no one can see it when its presence is needed the most such as during a battle. Such things were viewed as having their own spirit and could impart good luck so leaving them behind would have been unthinkable.

  • fair point

  • @robertgeorg , thanks , robertgeorge ,,

    The Somme was a terrible Slaughter, but , just , not for the British Troops, also for the Canadian Troops ...

  • Read the post again,,,,He didn't mean that it was.

  • We are talking WW1, not WW2. Germany did try to talk Austria into letting up on her terms with Austria. Once they did throw in their lot with Austria, they went full bore, just like everyone else.

  • Germany reluctant? Get a grip!!!

  • robertgeorg his comments r a couople of pages back
