You mean Horrific Yes its weird! english is weird? terrific means it was brilliant, But horrific means, it was terrible, so im taking you mean it was horrific not terrific unless you think the war was brilliant which I don't think so
My grand-grand fathers and uncles were trench soldiers.(A Fleming) After the gaz attacks the English soldiers came to the farm of my grand grand mother en father and they helped them giving them new clothes, cleaning them and gaving them shelter and food and company. My grand mother learned them how to play piano. My grand-grand uncle couldn't speak about it, he was traumatized and designed a crown for the Maria Statue in the cathedral of Antwerp, it is still there. To thank God he survived this war.
Yeah, my grandpa was 19 and was on a ship (USS Sumter) at pearl harbor when it was attacked. He survived, but I never got to meet him, and according to my parents, he was never the same.
I'm really impressed by this video. The student who did most of the speaking, I commend you for your knowledge and for your compassion for those who experienced World War I. I agree with Markus Fahrner, it is important to remember for the sake of the soldiers who served, but also because we do NOT want something like this to be repeated.

My nanas father harry went in world war2 he survived 1 shot the the head and 1 shot to the hand he was 16 when it happened I am very honored because I went and placed a flower thing on the memorial it is very speical and that's why I'm honard
I don't think the minds of men at war are any different. My grandpa was ww2 vet he fought in the navy and one of his missions was D-Day. He said after the firing had stoped they were driving in tanks, his tank operator went crazy and started driving over bloated dead bodies to hear them pop. He had PTSD extreamly bad bud wouldn't talk about it. When I'd wake him up it was by shaking his foot or yelling grandpa from his door. He was cold man but a good one and raised me well.

I don't understand how people are able to think history is boring. Cause history has been dramatic, full of interesting characters, adventure, and discovery. And that all happened.
I’m mainly a World War II Buff, but I love Dabbling in other kinds of History like Roman Empire, WWI, My Great Grandpa was in the Norwegian Army during WW1 & My other Grandpa was with General George S Patton of The Third Army they called them selfs The Iron Men Of Metz in WW2. He was also in the 377 Infantry Division Regiment. He was part of the break - though at the Siegfried line.
There was never a moment in my life in the past 20 years, if not more, when I wouldn't have been able what day World War 1 ended. But it took me very long to realise why CBC News is posting videos on this topic this month. On a way more serious note: World War 1 has effects that last until today. Think about this next time you're about to say "Thank you for your service" to a veteran or military member you know joined the forces 100 % voluntarily.
Can you imagine 18 year olds today being conscripted to go to war? Many can’t handle being told someone has a different viewpoint than them and they need a safe space.
from what i read, at the start of the war they were very uncomfortable. they're woolen clothes were way too hot during the summer, and a lot of soldiers were just ill equipped for the winter.
We are learning about this stuff in year 6 and we are doing either a trench artwork OR make a memory box I’m doing a memory box and IDK what to put IN ITTTTTT HELPPPP MEEE GIVE IDEASSSS
My grandfather never came back from the war!!!! It really pisses me off when I see less people every year wearing poppies around this time of year!!! Lest we forget‼️‼️‼️
Not only 18 year olds but boys who were younger than that were fighting in the British Army. In fact in WWII on D-Day there was a medic who lied about his age to fight, unfortunately he was killed by a German. I believe he was around 15 when he died but I'm not entirely sure.
In peace full time there was a trench near my home in country town I used to stay overnight with my friends there i just loved it and enjoyed alot And i felt very safe while sleeping in trenches
It’s different for you, my friend. You weren’t under constant artillery fire, you didn’t see someone fall, you didn’t hear the screams of the wounded or smell the rotting bodies
German trenches Commander: hello soldier here is your suit key make sure to take your gun too Soldier: ahh thanks serving in the military is better than living in a normal house.
As a Newfoundlander I can say that the 12000 Newfoundland soldiers fought as strong as they could, with many dying at Beaumont-Hamel. RIP to all soldiers who died in World War 1
its not gonna be like this anymore itll be alot more complex and instead of worrying about getting shot in the head while sleeping, or a trench collapsing on you youd have to worry about getting mowed down by a fighter plane
Much respect to you for making this video, and bringing to live what life was like in the trenches, but please stop calling these people kids, they were mature men (as most were men and women but majority fighting were men) who had earnt that right not only by age but for what they had gone through not to be called kids.
"Walk a mile in their shoes." NOBODY could walk a mile in their shoes. The bloody things were so cheap, they just fell apart as soon as they got wet. That's where "trenchfoot" gets it's name. Also, "Remember what they did for US," is an overused line. Canada wasn't in danger of being attacked in that war. We joined because Britain joined. We went to serve OTHERS, not ourselves. THAT is why we remember.
Can't forget the corpse rats, that feasted on the bodies of the dead soldiers. Or the log that soldiers would sit on, in place of a proper latrine, on a regular basis. Also can't forget the ever present reality of staying away from low places, for when the gas shells from enemy artillery made their way into the craters and trenches.
