Off course they all died in vain! They died for 100 metres conquered land. And the next day they lost it again. 'They' are the allies as well as the entente. 'The great leaders' didn't care (For exemple Haig wouldn't visit the frontline, because he could not stand bodies torn apart). There for we have to remember the silly idea that 'We are fighting for a right cause and God is with us'. There for we will remember those boys who died. Not only then, but also nowadays.

I suppose in one way to be fair to the ordinary bloke on the street, they may not actually *know* what's happened in the various wars. They may not care! I remember during school and learning about the second world war it was pushed over and over again in so many guises that I'm not surprised so many people don't care. :(

They built their trenches to protect themselves from bullets and shrapnel.

Armistice day comes around again and yet people still don't seem to care... I see people refusing to observe the two minute silence for that one small moment every year.

Your right, this year i went down to the local memorial park and there were people who were talking during the silence, very sad indeed . . . . I suppose they don't value what these men have given them.

Great, but all of the soldiers in this video are English, so maybe a different piece of music would of gone along better. Still a great video none the less. Every single man in that unit sitting in the dugout was killed in less than an hour during the charge.

i selected this peice of music because it is played at the Ypres menin gate on Nov 11th and i thought it was a fitting tribute. But we are all entitled to our opinions! Glad to see you liked it :)
