Steven Broomfield Posted 4 November , 2006 Share Posted 4 November , 2006 Brings it home, doesn't it? Sod the Festival of Remembrance, it should be on prime-time television for a few nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StAubyns Posted 4 November , 2006 Author Share Posted 4 November , 2006 Steven, I have put a comment saying exactly that on youtube. Probably to antiwar for the establishment though regards Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KevinEndon Posted 4 November , 2006 Share Posted 4 November , 2006 What is the song that is played on the video. Please can anyone give me a link to download it, Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Robertson Posted 4 November , 2006 Share Posted 4 November , 2006 The song is "My Immortal" by Evanescence. These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have All of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 4 November , 2006 Share Posted 4 November , 2006 Beat me to it Derek! Emily recognised it - Goth band, she has the CD ("Fallen"). The track even has the Morse Code at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6th Shropshires Posted 4 November , 2006 Share Posted 4 November , 2006 Heartbreaking, my blood ran cold for a few seconds, one of my sons know one of these lads, his kip was only three doors away from my son. Also my lad and several others had been stood where the Cpl. was fatally wounded, ten minuets before, if the mortar had landed then---- well no need to say any more.

BottsGreys Posted 6 November , 2006 Share Posted 6 November , 2006 Moving, heartbreaking, thought provoking--right in the gut that one--and I thank you.

spike10764 Posted 7 November , 2006 Share Posted 7 November , 2006 Sometimes I still forget, that those lads are doing now, what I think of when I think of my Great Grandfather. For the sake of their country ..... What a moving video and song. We shall remember them all..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bulloch Posted 8 November , 2006 Share Posted 8 November , 2006 What can I say!!! One of the most moving video's I have ever seen. All of it sad, but the picture of the kids with there Dad it really got to me. "LEST WE FORGET" Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Bailey Posted 24 November , 2006 Share Posted 24 November , 2006 Excellent. may thanks for posting the URL. A few years ago I saw a short slide show at a Photographic Society. It was an audio visual show, three projectors, fading slides etc with music. The photos were taken in the Somme cemetaries and memorial sites. The music was 'Brothers in Arms' by Dire Straights. At the end there was a stunned silence. I was in tears. It was so moving words cannot describe. Gunner Bailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Dixon Posted 25 November , 2006 Share Posted 25 November , 2006 Very very moving. I think the wedding photos and pictures with kids are the saddest. Thanks for posting the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themonsstar Posted 28 November , 2006 Share Posted 28 November , 2006 ' To the Others': ....Rhymes are halting and verses weak, Thoughts ring truer than words can speak. Proudly I fill the wine-glass up And I pledge you all in a loving cup. Here's to the cheery days gone by When we marched in the ranks of the old M.I. And still in the future, come what may, Be it sport or war, be it work or play, I ask no better than just to ride Shoulder to shoulder, side by side, With the men whose mettle I've proved and tried, Comrades of mine.

Roxy Posted 30 November , 2006 Share Posted 30 November , 2006 Thanks for the link, Geoff. I had the honour of carrying Al Squires on his last journey - the hardest job I've ever had to do. Roxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soren Posted 1 December , 2006 Share Posted 1 December , 2006 Very moving, it's the futility of their sacrifice, are we or the country their in any safer? pointless, absolutely pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
