I have heard this song sung by numerous cover artists. They almost always change some of the lyrics, but why I don't know. This is the original and it should be treated as sacred. It's the best by far, by miles. Changing it always messes up some of the emotion and the message.

@absoftitanium It is the best version because it is the original!

[TheSouthernGentleman]

Its important to remember the German soldiers too. They suffered and died just like everyone else.

[Guenter51]

In war there are only losers!

@TheSouthernGentleman The same is happening in Afghanistan the moment we speak.

to quote bill hicks

anybody stupid enough to want to join the army should be allowed.

RIP to every single person who gave their life to the terrible war, brave and amazing! :')

@TheGamersEnjoyment "Yes I am a pacifist and proud of the fact. ..,. The Taliban did nothing to us. It was al-Qaeda that perpetrated the 9/11 attacks."

That works if the other guy is also a pacifist, but what if he isn't? At some point one has to fight as the Brits found in 1939 after years of appeasement. The Taliban aided and abetted Al Qaeda so needed to be attacked.

too many,too often,too many times.in truth man lives by the feud...and once again i hear the marching of young men.all for the turn of a coin and profit for these men with there pens.

@absoftitanium I mostly agree, although I do like Bob Seger's No Man's Land. But I see them as two different songs with the same name.

@TheGamersEnjoyment Because war, like racism and hatred is innate. It's what makes us who we are.

[HappyDay989]

No-one dislikes this song. This goes to prove that Eric Bogle is troll-proof.

I lost my Great Uncle in this war. He died in later 1917 - having only been born in early 1900 (one of the youngest to die in action). Not much of a "life" for him was it?He was one of the "lucky" ones who was found - there still remain 10s of thousands who still lie "alone" - lost or blown to bits.
