Blessed are the sons who take a bullet for the mother country. You never bleed in vain! God loves you all!

And they all died in vein as the bastard class have SOLD our country

The younger kids do not relate. I am old enough to have talked to some of the old vets from the Great War. My poor new born boy will not meet the best of us because the greatest of both world wars are gone.

Ronnie drew version of this is something special

Rest in Peace Grandpa Cyril. We will never forget you, Lone Pine is your resting place. No marked grave.

This and The Green Fields of France

They played this every year in my elementary in Canada.

This is a marvellous song. I first heard it sung in the great version by The Pogues. I love both that and this original version. I live in England, and I am so envious that there are schools where this would be played after The Last Post on November 11th...instead we are told of "Our Glorious Military History".

On these kind of topics there are always the crybabies that complain. My country army is better, that is the wrong picture for this time in history, etc, etc, etc I enjoyed this vid (and cried) we need to get past the (my country done this) attitude and stand as humans against those who will profit from conflicts killing me, you, brothers sisters cousins so on so on so on And im an Aussie!! hide your beer LOL
