People, please LISTEN to the words. It's a song about loss of innocence, ultimate sacrifice, loss and the folly of war. That WIllie is English is irrelevant. A post from a year ago stated that it's about an Australian, Irishman, American, Canadaian or a Scot. But it's also abput the French, Belgians and Russians who were in the middle and the Germans, Turks, Hungarians and Bulgarians on the other side. In the end, it's about the senseless waste, and that on the battlefield, nobody wins.

The attitude express above shows why willie McBride Died and how, sadly, we have for to go in realising this truth.
Ye are all the fruits of one tree
The leafs of one branch
and the flowers of one garden
No man chooses where he comes from and how he speaks

@Dan90iel1 Mc is also Irish, I know, Im Irish and my Surname begins with Mc.. My name originated in County Cork Ireland almost 1000 years ago. And yes the Willie McBride this song is dedicated to was Irish. He was a member of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers who were an Irish Regiment. The 19-year-old Private William McBride is buried in Authuille British Cemetery, near Albert and Beaumont-Hamel, where the Inniskilling Fusilliers were deployed as part of the 29th Division. Great song by the way!

The name was made up by the artist who is a Scottsman living in Australia. Doesn't matter if he was called John Smith, it's about all young men going to war.
