I recognize the need for ads, and that the advertiser sets requirements, but it strikes me as being in poor taste to cut from your poignant end directly to an ad for a war video game. It is jarring and diminishes the sacrifice of real people, who fought in real combat, and shed real blood. I like history and I like video games, I just feel like this one missed the mark and you should avoid a closing ad for it also detracts from your style of presentation.

As a young child in the 1950's in Ulster, there was a Somme vet known as Darky Boyd, who lived alone in a small cottage close to us and he often arrived home in the evening rather drunk. I always thought him a sad case, but knowing what they went through, does not make it surprising.

One very odd point of the Royal Irish Rifles during the Great War . D Company (Royal Militia Island of Jersey) 7th Royal Irish Rifles. Jerseymen for historical reasons could not be conscripted into the British Army. However the Island was home to the oldest organised military force in England. From 1284 after the Island's chose to remain with the Duc Of Normandy, through his later claim to the English Crown (Yes, the Channel Island's own England) there was a requirment for all able bodied men to serve in a force to prevent French incursions. On the outbreack of the Great War the RMIJ, asked for volunteers to serve oversea's. In 1915 , 300 men voluntered. It should be note dthe War Office required soem RMIJ to remain as gaurds at POW camps on the Island , and in defence in case of invasion. As 300 men were not enough to form a unit on thier own, the men were attached , for various reasons, including political to an Irish regimane, the 7th RIR. They served in the Somme and during the Spring Offensive.

My Father's family are farmers who lived in Ulster at that time. They were Catholic and we're very excited about the possibility of home rule. My Grandmother's family were egg farmers in the same area and shared the hope of becoming a sovereign nation no longer a colony of England. None of them supported the war and as we know the IRA had contact with the Kaiser and the German state, in fact most of the rifles carried came from Germany, single shot Mausers. A deal was offered to the nationalist people in Ulster, fight for the empire and win freedom when the war is done. My great uncle joined the Munster Fusilier to fight and earn his land's freedom. I found his memorial medal , his dead man's penny as my grandmother called it. Wounded in The Dardanelle campaign, evacuated to Palestine where he died of dispensary. As we know the Easter rising came, the English messed up and we had a civil war that's only now coming to an end in the fall out of Brexit. I am from London, I see my identity as a working class man who like many people has an interesting inheritance of family knowledge 😊

Hindenburg and Ludendorff were a team - with Hindenburg being the senior and the one everyone respected and Ludendorff being the Operations Guy. Ludendorff got his reputation from the Battle of Tannenberg at the beginning of the war - He and Hindenburg were sent to calm things down in the face of a Russian threat. By simply having the existing plan of the German Staff Officers already there implemented - the Germans won and Ludendorff got all the credit for it - much to the amusement of the staff officers who had actually come up with the plan in the first place. The French had been so bloodied that their Army had mutinied - defending but refusing to attack. The British had all those troops waiting to cross the Channel that Lloyd George was holding back. So - the Germans attacked the wrong foe. When they did hit the French - they drove themselves into a sack with no rail lines to bring supplies up with and could go no where. Ludendorff was largely responsible for the Germans losing the way they did. .

The Irish, including Catholics, had a proud history of service in the British army (and a continuing one), more than earning their fine reputation as fighting men. Ironically many of the most prominent American Irish are of Ulster Irish background but have lost their roots. You are probably of actual Irish ancestry if Catholic but unless your families been in the Americas since the 17th century (like many Ulster Irish) it is almost certain that you have ancestors yourself who served under the King's colours. The one's who didn't (as in those in the long resistance of the British, rather than most of the population who like most it most times didn't care too deeply so long as they were left to themselves) left Ireland and ended up in Spanish or French colonies, if not those countries themselves.

When King David slept with the wife of Uriah and then found out that Bathsheba was pregnant he called Uriah back from the war with the hope of getting him to go and sleep with his wife thus hiding David's adulterous liaison and subsequent pregnancy. Uriah's response was how could he take comfort while his sword brothers were still at war and he slept in the hall by David's bedroom. David then sent a message to his commander to put Uriah in the thickest of fighting and thus ended Uriah's life and David takes Bathsheba as another one of his wives. The Irish represent the dreaded Catholics and thusly are all going to be placed in the thickest of the battles and the first ones sent in to soften up the enemy and basically be treated like fodder for the war machines to devour. The reason for their, The Irish, silence, bravery and to the Death All out determination in the war itself is because of their own belief system in the One Tru living God who so Loved us to allow his own only begotten Son to be a sacrifice for our covering who was born of the Virgin Mary ergo because of their Catholic faith they willingly died in front of their enemies and I'm referring to the governments that used them in the way they did as well as the other side fighting to deny the Father and the Son but especially the denial of The Queen Mother of God himself in the form of his Son. The spiritual war is still raging on it's high time we all paid attention to the people who are in the front lines now and what they are saying they will not be moved from the fact that they are committed to have liberty or death to die standing in solidarity as Free Men then ever bend the knee in submission and slavery.
