My great grandfather, who I knew as a boy, fought on the Somme, and at the 1st and 3rd battles of Passchendaele with the 2nd Territorial Battalion of The Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry (KOYLI). Having experienced that horror of a slaughter of men, he said this, 'In future, leave the civilians and the soldiers out of it. Have the Kings and Kaisers put on boxing gloves, put them in a ring, and let them sort it out between themselves. Why should the common man be killed and maimed for the likes of those who should know better how to conduct themselves?' To me he said this, 'I was young and daft once, and decided to go on a bit of an adventure. But this adventure turned out not to be an adventure at all, but a matter of life and death. So listen to your old grandad's words of wisdom gleaned from that experience.....never volunteer for anything.'

If Britain had never gone to war with Germany in WW1, and Germany had WON the war, what do you think would have happened?? It's very unlikely that Germany had any intention to invade Britain in WW1. In actual fact, Britain would have probably been better off if they hadn't gone to war with Germany. It would have just remained a continental affair. Britain and it's empire would have remained mostly unaffected. So I really don't see how their hardship and sacrifice benefited you or any of us at all.

He said big men didn't stand a chance as they'd get mowed down by the machine guns. I reckon he survived because he was a runner, taking messages from HQ to the lines. If only I could go back and ask him more. My uncle, his brother survived because he was a barber and he spent the war cutting soldiers hair behind the lines. Two lucky men.

That made his story even more impressive, because runners were exposed to snipers and stray munitions every day, such as artillery shells, which caused some 90% of all casualties. They were also priority targets, because the enemy also knew how important these communications were. Not many messengers started by running messages from HQ, most started by running more dangerous missions first, which made them some of the least likely to survive the war, alongside anyone who held the rank of Captain.

Today they are taught that they ae the problem, violence is wrong unless you are bullying the weak, and constantly belittled and disempowered. These ideologies are dangerous, the value of human is not for another human to decide. Gandhi had the fortune of not being Tank Man, precisely because the British were reasonable.

But fear is bravery, if your not afraid, it's not bravery. In those days, life was different, they cared about patriotism and each other. This next war that's coming will be just as senseless as the first two, but without the honour of men like this. Im glad we got to hear theyre story

Really interesting. The one British soldier said it was his birthday. He was in the trech. The Germans came and one came out him with a bayonet. And he thought his life was about to end, but he asked him for a cigarette and then ran off..... So crazy to think that the stakes were so high. During World War I and humanity was still alive amongst us. Compare it to today, basically every war fought after WW 2. In my opinion, has been a sham. Where the carnage reigns over everything else. With no humanity to be found, especially these days with any battle, war, or even the smallest struggle Or conflict revolving around hate and fighting. things I would consider to be pointless. Always mostly always leading to horrible carnage of not just men, but also women and children. With no morality or love for humans as a whole left...the world is doomed.

I think a lot of it is due to the technological advances. Now hundreds, thousands, can be killed with a push of a button far away from the battlefield. With that detachment from killing comes inhumanity and people are just a number, not a face or body you see in combat.

Lifting a virtual glass to the brave men from all countries thata served in the Great War. We salute all that lived as well as those that perished. My paternal Grandfather served in the US forces in France in 1918. He returned home with his hearing affected by the noise of the guns. While on a troop train headed for training, the train made a stop in Paris, TX where he met a young woman who came with friends to see the boys bound for Europe. After his return, that woman became my Grandmother in 1920. So I guess I can say I'm hear as a result of the American entry into WWI.

Leave the young men and women at home and send the leaders to fight it out.
