With all that is going on in our busy lives, it is often easy to forget the sacrifices made on our behalf by men and women defending our liberty. Whilst the following clip is initially centred on the first world war, it is equally apt to present day conflicts. It also makes reference to the fact that those in the first world war thought that they were fighting the war to end all wars, and that we as humans are still making a complete mess of things.
But the past is just the same - and war's a bloody game...
Have you forgotten yet?...
Look down, and swear by the slain of the war that you'll never forget..
Siegfried Sassoon March 1919
The following clip is The Green Fields Of France performed by The Fureys.
