World War 1 - The Mystery of Celtic Wood
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- The 10th Battalion of the 1st Australian Division was amongst the most feared fighting forces in the world leading up to World War 1.
The Terrible Tenth, as they were known in the British Army, had proven their valor several times, with two of their men having received the coveted Victoria Cross.
When they were recruited by Field Marshall Douglas Haig to raid the Celtic Wood, a deep forest within Flanders, Belgium, the 85-men crew accepted without hesitation.
Everyone was shocked when the Terrible Tenth suffered so many losses. Even worse, 37 of the men were missing, and they would never be found.
How could so many men belonging to one of the most fierce battalions disappear without a trace?
Many wondered whether they had been abducted by Germans and lost in a mass graveyard. Others were convinced there was a supernatural element to the disappearances.
The infamous Celtic Wood raid became known as the Australian Imperial Force's greatest mystery in the Great War.

“Sadly, the sacrifice in the Celtic Wood had little effect on the overall war.”. Pretty much sums almost all offensive action on the western front in WWI.
Imagine the first day of the Somme
@Redbo Black Jesus can you imagine...I'd see about slipping off into the darkness the night before..🏃
True words
Sums up the whole idea of warfare, throw your young fit men into fighting for no other reason than the profits for the rich, no other reason, wars are fought for wealth.
@@davidpowell6098 Also to kill of populations.
I'm Australian i have never heard of them or this mystery, its amazing how you can grow up in a country yet things like this are still out there . Makes me wonder what we are not told about
G'day there
ditto me too
Ditto
Aliens and other inconsequential stuff
Plus the things that don't fit into our timeline of the universe
A large concentrated artillery barrage can literally make soldiers disappear.
Just read a story about germans on d day and this soldier said he fou d a row of American paratroopers shot dead with their hands tied, he believed it to be ss that he had seen shoot a wounded british tanker But this war crime was never reported as they came under fire fro. Naval artillery and it wiped any evidence from the face of the earth

@@brucebaxter6923 if you have ever seen someone hit by anything larger than 20mm it's more airborne mince of flying pork chops
That's why there's a catagory, 'missing in action'...aka disintegrated.
Not even a large artillery attack just a couple well placed rounds will make the target into ground meat . What do you all think happened ?
How do you lose 37 people in a war?
Two words: High Explosives.
Two other words: Alien Abduction.
BWAhahahaha....
Lizard people?
Not saying it’s aliens, ...but it’s aliens. 👽
@@Backroad_Junkie : In a war it's far more likely that someone to be blown into unidentifiable pieces than be abducted by aliens. No sane alien is going to want to be anywhere near a battlefield where high explosives are being flung about, just in case...
My thoughts exactly....
You've no idea how great it is to hear a UA-cam channel pronounce Celtic correctly. Making us Irish proud!
And Welsh
@@matthewparkes2336 Shout out to Wales. Congratulations on the 6 nations.
dont tell me youtubers were pronouncing the C as an S

The only problem, we’re not Celts.

No, your white supremist past must be cancelled.
WTF are you on about.
@@carrisasteveinnes1596 stfu
That's because stories like this a drowned out by yet another re-telling of Simpson and his donkey
It's a stupid story....
A bunch of dudes went into no mans land and after hours of artillery they never came back.......
WHAT A FUCKIN MYSTERY!
HAD TO BE ALIENS!
-"Field Marshall Haigh has formulated a brilliant new tactical plan to ensure final victory in the field."
-"Does this brilliant plan involve climbing out of our trenches and walking very slowly towards the enemies?"
-"How could you know that Blackadder? It's classified information!"
Lol
Haigh, who never got his uniform dirty Just blood on his hands.
Just so General Haig could move his drinks cabinet six inches closer to the front 😅
“Thank you Darling”
Can you imagine the chaos the noise the terror of an artillery barrage so intense as to literally disappear so many brave soldiers Freedom is very precious
Have you watched Band or Brothers? There’s a great scene in one of the Bastogne episodes. It does an amazing job of showing the absolute chaos of being hit with an artillery barrage
"Screaming Eagles" by Sabaton does a decent job of showing the chaos of battle
Unfortunately this war was not about freedom at all.
Which side provided freedom?
WWI wasn't a war for freedom, it was a domino effect of alliances and treaties that dragged all of Europe into should have been a regional spat between Austria-Hungary and Serbia which Germany ended up getting the blame for.
There are definitely places in the woods/deep wilderness areas that just don’t feel right/comfortable. Other things like the feeling of being watched or hearing the sounds of wildlife suddenly die off.
I’ve experienced getting bad vibes in the woods for no logical reason. Trusting my gut feeling and intuition, I will turn back, especially if there is not a reasonable explanation for the feeling.
Has anyone else experienced similar experiences?
Also helps to stay away with places that have malevolent names. Especially if the indigenous people avoid the specific area or have legends involving bad things with a place.
Yes i have felt the same in certain places in the woods....
Yes. I hunt alone, at times for a week at a time. There are places that are full of trepidation and fear.......and others that are euphoric, and joyful.
A trick of the mind? Maybe......but these places felt the same to me for the last 30 years.
I am a person who could throw my sleeping bag down in a graveyard and sleep soundly, I don’t fear ghosts n goblin’s, etc.
But the energies in mountain wilderness area’s are very real to me.
Cryptic creatures live in these woods around the world hence the many missing ppl! Never go alone or that day may be your last!
@@NathanChisholm041 I've witnesses one before - not pleasant.
I don't go into the woods anymore without being armed. There are places that people do Real Evil Sht. Especially in the woods. I was in a Game Reserve in AR and I just couldn't get back to the house fast enough. My hair's are standing on end just talking about it. Ltr.
Thank you for this video, it touched me greatly. My great uncle Gordon Clinnick was lost "presumed dead" in the wider Passchendaele attacks of October 1917 around Poelappelle. His remains were never found. I'm still researching what Australian battalion he was in. Who knows, he may have even been one of these 37 doomed men.....
Many years ago I read THE ARMS OF KRUP, a book about a Germany family that sold arms.
The author mentioned this story ,though it had nothing to do with the book. I figured it must have made quite an impression on him. I never forgot it though, I'm glad to see more on the subject.
There was a brilliant podcast episode called Behind The Bastards about Krup and a large part of it was based on that book. Apparently the author was not only astoundingly knowledgeable of Krup arms but also a particularly fantastic writer.
@@DarkDonnieMarco, he did his research, for sure. If you ever have the chance you should read it.
YOOOOOO I read arms of Krupp in jail and damn is that a big book. I'm surprised you made it that far into the book.
@@brandonbasnett5680 I found it fascinating, I couldn't put it down.
And you're right. Its a big book
This guy takes fast talking to another level geez i gotta listen on .75 speed
it sounds and looks a lot more natural indeed.
.75 helps but I think like a .85 would be perfect, just slightly too slow on .75
Ha... I listen at 1.5x.
@@cgaccount3669 I listen to jocko podcast on 2x. After you speed something up like that a couple times and get past all the little “filler” sounds. It’s hard to let it go back to normal. I feel like they are stealing my time haha
@@cgaccount3669 i'm with you
All so Haig could move his desk an inch closer to Berlin, eh Darling?
Piff piff. Tally ho!
Any idea how many were never found... It's huge! I live in Flanders and every year, somewhere somehow remains are surfacing in the fields while building, farming, constructing...
Trey bien. Agreed. This war is just over a century old and the estimates at Verdun put the total cleanup of lead and explosives will take another 300 years.
😳 ! Those poor young men. 🙄
They will be digging up soldiers for another 100 years all throughout Belgium, France, Germany
I would imagine that their bones tend to get pushed up slowly with the frost each year. just like the rocks in a farmer's field.
...yeah.
Watching these videos makes me value even the simplest things in Life .
Throughout the History of War , so many lives lost , so young .
I knew somebody who was an Army Ranger in Viet nam and never seemed to be bothered by anything .
He once said " When I was in 'Nam , I knew if I could survive all of that , the rest of my life would be a piece of cake " .
Speak SLOWLY or so subtitles, this mumbling is incomprehensible at times. It's made even worse by long pauses so you don't even fit extra words in there, just hurt legibility...
I think he posts it at +25% speed...I wonder why? It is much more enjoyable when played at .75.
Perhaps your brain is slow?
Pay attention faster Karen
it's a shame that over 100 years has gone by and we haven't figured out how to stop sending our young people to the killing fields
Send the politicians instead.
We know exactly how just nobody has the nads to stand up to the rich.
War is money. Prolonging said war is even more money . Winning war is no money .
All those guns& uniform's made some people rich.
We've been killing long before that. Summeria was the first recorded war and General Thuclydes wrote about the insanity of conflict when he was in the Peloponnesian war for over 30 years he gave up trying to analyze why.
Thanks for this, Australian and New Zealand troops are always referred to as British troops in Europe so no one know how much of a contribution they gave there. All were volunteers, most were Gallipoli veterans.
Thats so the British can take the credit , for those of us in Canada we never have or ever will consider you British , while on U.N. duty in Cyprus we drank with the Ausies not the Brits
They what?
That surely can’t be very common, the amount of wild stuff ANZACs did in WW1 was off the chart.
Stealing German tanks, sneaking into enemy trenches in the middle of the night, catching grenades and throwing them back at the enemy, storming German machine gun nests alone, hill 60……
Rubbish. Every British-published history book about WWI includes ANZAC (and other Empire) forces. You are probably confused by references to British Empire Forces or British Commonwealth Forces. Btw, there were more British troops at Gallipoli that ANZACS. My great uncle was killed there - Iniskilling Fusiliers.
@@redjem6918 That's right, casualties are described as British and commonwealth, they never give just British casualty numbers. They will tell you about Anzac losses only, but the French and British lost many thousands more and the numbers are hardly mentioned. This gives the impression that it was a mainly an Australian and New Zealand campaign but it wasn't. It was one of Churchill's "wheezes". Whenever a politician thinks they are a great general thousands die. Mountbatten was another.
@@golden36 Canada has always been useless, throughout both World Wars shit generals shit soldiers, can't do anything without British or American command, Australians and NZ actually had decent soldiers but shit leadership. Truth hurts perhaps.
I like listening to Sabaton.
I am not usually into hard rock or metal, but that Band literally keeps history alive.
Look up the stories of WW1 Francis Pegamagabow. 378 confirmed snipers kills with the much maligned Ross Rifle.
He was one of the best snipers during WW1. Sumo (The Finnish White Death) would of loved him.
Captured over 400 enemy alive, and would silently cut off medals and insignia off sleeping enemies while scouring enemy trenches, while not harming the enemy.
While his “traditions” were initially mocked, his fellow Canadians soon highly respected his abilities and his almost supernatural ability to change the wind (gas attacks) direction and save them from certain death.
He was a sniper, scout, and soldier.
He was a First Nations Canadian and one of the highest promoted and awarded First Nations in the Canadian Military.
Because at the time Canada did not recognize Native Americans as official citizens he had to fight after the war for the same benefits and rights as his fellow soldiers.
In the early 2000’s, he tribe erected a bronze statue by the lake he grew up by as a boy.
He is smartly dressed in his WW1 uniform, with his spirit animal on his arm (an Eagle), and a Caribou behind him.
When the Canadian Government heard about this memorial, they sent Canadian Military and a band to attend in acknowledgement of his service.🥲
Sabaton has a Song about him called “Ghost in the Trenches”.
RIP Francis Pegamagobow.
Gone. But not forgotten. 🪶
Ive spent a lot of time in Australia, especially in my younger days. Love the place, love the people & I often wondered to myself as I paid my respects at war memorials all over Australia, especially from the First World War... what were you boys doing so far from home dying in hell holes like France & Gallipoli? Never forgotten, that goes for all the ANZACS.
Loyalty to country and a sense of adventure
It called the British empire back then and even a little bit now what great Britain said you follow
@@tobiasgriffin4263 the sun never set on the British empire, Australia and New Zealand had a choice as did most commonwealth countries including India and China, rather than attempting to politicize why attempt to understand the times,electricity, aircraft, motor vehicles and more were just beginning, steam power and horses were the primary transportation,square rigger ships were still in large numbers, to most people in all countries war was an adventure not to be missed, Germany was sucked into it by the Austro-Hungarian empire and it all kicked off in Serbia, you can say Australia out of loyalty to Britain did as requested as governments do but Adventure in a far away country and not knowing the devastation of modern warfare was the primary reason people all over the world enlisted, just as Putin and ping are playing with world war not realizing what is about to happen to them it's an adventure and a chance for glory, just as in 1914 nobody could comprehend what was about to happen, in 2021 people don't comprehend what modern warfare means, will you say after if anyone is left to listen, Britain called Australia answered
@@infidel202 Very, very well summarized-Britain's call enabled a sense of adventure in a far away country, a powerful emotion. (a U.S. Marine in Viet Nam here) edit: a huge 👍to the "Diggers" who served as Allies during Viet Nam, (without discussing the political merits of the conflict.)
@@tobiasgriffin4263 like in both wars Australia offered..there was no made to do..in effect most Australians were ex poms who thought it would be a holiday,back to the old country..and no most recruiting came from cities..no the bush...no one lives there.
Should do the story of Mametz wood where the 38th Welsh Division was basically wiped out
Battle of Beaumont-Hamel the Newfoundland regiment was pretty much wiped out. Over 90% casualties. It is said the Germans wept when they were firing because of the slaughter.
This is one of the most tragic stories of WW1, which if you know anything about WW1 tragedies, is saying something.
I fought in Iraq and this crazy stuff makes my anxiety go through the roof. We should all hope that a war of this scope never happens again.
I believe the "peace" we live in , is fabricated. WW3 is probably coming in the coming decades.
War with China is starting to sound inevitable
@@Butts0hboi yeah it is.
@@Butts0hboi - Only if some idiot picks, and picks, and picks away at them.
Overall, the Chinese are pretty chill people, and don't really go for the idea of
invading other's, so how else do you think it's going to start? By arrangment?
@@karlmuller3690 pretty chill people that still run concentration camps and use slave labor.
Thank you so much for telling one of our Aussie stories of the great war.
It's a rare thing as most of the time our forces get lumped in with the British. Australia set many records in world war one as well as in WW2.
Gallipoli, the light horse charge at Beersheba and then the Rats of Tobruk. Many brilliant stories. 😊
Thanks for the video. I've heard this story for years and I never found much information on it except the paranormal stuff. Being a war veteran your mini-doc makes excellent sense. The fog of war in WWI was especially a nightmare when it ca me to proper recording of battles. Thanks again.
"In the years leading up to World War One", the 10th Battalion AIF didn't exist. It was only raised after war had been declared.
Field Marshal Haig wasn't a "senior war general". He was the commander of the BEF.
This channel has such good quality but how dose it only have 600k subscribers. It truly baffles me
It's partly because you have to pay attention longer than 30 seconds.
Because he speaks so annoyingly fast.
Literally rushes his speech so bad I cant imagine watching every single video
everyone hates the narration
@@JarthenGreenmeadow I thought the narration was rather average for a video of this nature. When you say “20mm auto cannon” enough times it eventually becomes a world that may seem quite fast from a person that doesn’t use this type of dialect on a regular basis
@@AceKiller9000 why?
It should also be noted that the Australian armed forces remain amongst the most feared in the world. Our SAS operators are rated as the best. Whenever you hear of Australia getting involved in a conflict in "limited capacity" on behalf of one of our allies, our involvement is only on the specific missions they need to either be black ops or that can't be allowed to fail.
When you want something done right, call an Aussie.
I came across a monument to these men near Ypres a few years ago, I had not heard of this incident before that. And found very little info on it since then. I assumed they got lost in NML, unable to find friendly lines and were probably shot at by both sides.
Thankyou. I have 13 ANZAC ancestors. I am glad that their stories are being told. 🇦🇺❤️😢
It's always rough watching this footage.
Sounds like cannon fodder men's life's had no value in this madness.
Not then, not now, not ever.
It does and did, that’s why they fight
What's with the mad speed of the dialogue... its stressful
Listen at .75. Sounds normal.
I had to slow it down to understand it.
When I was in England someone speaking as fast as him was accused of having "Verbal Diahorea".
"How could so many men disappear in one go?"
Have you seen the caliber of the Mortars and Artillery they used? Have you seem what heavy arms do to soft squishy targets?
this dude talks fast as hell
Thank you. Never this battle before. I'm a Australian Newcastle. 🇦🇺🇬🇧
Sounds like a Great song for Sabaton to sing about.
You Should do an upload about the forgotten Russian 188(?) Night Witches. An all female Russian air force approved by Stalin that fought against the Germans.
They used literal fabric and wire slow crop dusters.....at night... to terrorize the Germans during WW2.
These planes were slow, could not carry heavy loads, and were vulnerable to tracer and ani-aircraft guns.
But the women used the planes short take off and landing abilities to their advantage (operated on literal mobile landing strips)....plus the top speed of those crop dusters was the German fighter planes stall speed.
They could turn on a dime and evade German pilots.......impressing a German Ace who was amazed at the woman’s abilities.
Though slow, they flew low to evade gunfire.
They slept during the day, and at night they fought.
They would climb to the highest altitude possible, the turn off their engines and glide toward German encampments. The only sound was the wires in the planes wings vibrating and the rustle of wing fabric. Only when right above the enemy would they release the bombs and start their engines again.
The gliding sound was comparable to quiet sewing machines and brooms.
The Germans called them “Night Witches” and they adapted the name.
Germans were truly terrified them. According to my Dad, who was against me joining the military as a girl, he surprised me by telling me that their legend is told like ghost stores in the American and other military branches.
I'm glad to see you didn't use this as History Channel type click bait but told the story just as we know it now. Unfortunately, many more soldiers than those from the 10th also disappeared in battles across Europe, blown into bits too tiny for anyone to recognize or even bury.
Love your vids. Keep up the great work.
I'm from Australia and never heard of this part of our history. Thanks cobba 👍👍👍
Though entertaining, I think this story to be more of a fact of war then a mystery. Especially given this being the hell of WW1. Makes me wonder how many other stories there are like this?
With ANZAC day coming up soon, it's good to hear about this. Thanks!
Literally blown to bits...
"Most feared in the World". Never heard of them. Courage and bravery had no effect against the massive firepower in that sort of war. It doesn't matter how tough you are or think you are, it won't stop a bullet or white hot shell fragments.
Fr the German army in ww1 was the most effective fighting force on earth
You shouldn't advertise your lack of knowledge like that. Must be a yank.
@@deeeeeeeench1209 An artillery bombardment is totally indifferent to courage, it will obliterate everyone. By the way don't assume anything, I'm not an American. You are showing your ignorance as I was born in the heart of England.
The value of this piece is greatly hampered by the narration style.
So I’m confused you say 71 missing but say several times 37 not sure about your math ,yeah those Australians are tough s o b
I to noticed that too!
A 85 men batallion, they lost 71 solder during the attack, and from these 71, 37 were never found
@@nootnoot6404 still doesn’t add up buddy
This guy's voice sounds exactly like the guy from PBS Eons
Except this guy talks 1000x too fast
Could you guys do a podcast or audio only thing? I would love it.
A few minutes in I was thinking "well that's a no-brainer. sounds they were probably cut down by artillery". I guess i'm psychic.
Maybe POW's? Or large bomb possibly basically evaporated them. Either way R.I.P
I didnt know this story and the 10th brigade are a South Australian brigade. So local history for me. My uncle was in the 2nd 10th in ww2. We should be learning our local war history so we never forget. A great video thanks.

Thanks, sounds like the micro machine guy
Agreed
And the people on the video look “normal” and not all sped up as well
Yup, did the same
Literally millions of artillery shells where fired back and forth for months. It flattened entire forests. It no doubt pulverized countless soldiers.

@@randyscott8660 Yh I guess that'd work I never thought tyo do that nice one fella.
When I was a kid back in the early 80s, I read a book called 'The monster trap and other true mysteries' and if I remember correctly this story was mentioned in that book. The writer added a flourish of mystery by saying that as the smoke cleared the cloud drifted against the flow of the wind - as I recall the writer was a believer in the UFO explanation of this story. Interesting to hear that there has been an explanation deduced by proper research!
Sad 😞 I feel for those families that didn’t know what ultimately happened to their sons, brothers, fathers and friends. Concentrated artillery will moonscape the earth it’s unfortunate for those men to perish like that
What´s with the audio? Playing back 0.80 speed sounds almost normal.
0.75 speed gang, wya?
Australians are natural warriors. Respect to them from the US.
Sounds like a battle plan straight out of Blackadder Goes Forth.....
So many young men sent forward to die. Tragic.
Love you bro but please slow it down just a little i got you on .75 rn because you talk so damn fast lol

This is a good channel, but why is the narrator talking so fast? I have to play the video back multiple times. It sounds like an apple podcast set to 2x speed!.
Abducted by aliens who recognized their ferocity and potential use in intergalactic ground combat
A great look for Samuel L Jackson .
"Their genes would later be returned to Earth by the Emperor of Mankind to construct his Thunder Warrior project...."
Exactly
Lieutenant Scott violated the second Maxim in a squad level combat.... never divide your attacking force in enemy territory
Why is the commentator talking so rapidly? I cannot understand him!
Just wore t shirts in like real brutal environments and 50 cal bullets frags gas
The missing ones confronted and lost to The Predator !
I’m 21 in college and I can’t imagine leading a group of guys across no mans land knowing what is going to happen. Pure insanity
All cannon fodder for Wall St. and London banksters! What fools these mortals be!
A German 88 in WW2 set on air burst could literally vaporize a person. A rolling barrage turns everything into fragments.
I was expecting to hear their families were told they were just going to go to the store for a gallon of milk. Guess I had different hopes.
You think it’s a joke that thousands of men sacrificed their lives so the rest of us can live with the freedoms that we have , obviously your parents didn’t teach you the meaning of respect .
You need to do a vid on Larry Thorne, an SS OFFICER who joined the green berets and disappeared on secret mission in Vietnam
SLOW DOWN! CANT FOLLOW ALONG!!!
when walking through jungles the most dangerous position is not point. its the second in line. The first wakes the snake. The second man gets bit by it. The terrible 10th had the unfortunate task of being second.
Good to see some Australian content! Also thank you for not referring to the Aussies as the crown.
i just wish the narrator would slow down a bit... in the meantime 0.75 speed it is
I am kind of surprised that 37 unfound bodies in the Carnage of WWI turns into some sort of mystery. Still sad for the families who had to endure the loss of loved ones who never knew what happened to those brave boys.
Pls do video about the siege of Jadotville
Thankyou another interesting look into the past
I love the episodes and the accurate historical accounting - but I have to ask if the staccato voice is for affect? I feel terrible asking - it's just that is is so distracting from a very good documentary.
Its much more suspenseful at .75 speed and still sounds good.
Artillery landed right on top of the group?
Amazing job, as always. I swear, this channel (as well as your others) continuously a achieve levels of quality rivalling History and Discovery. Also, you always have great music choice.
now that history and discovery are just reality TV this is way better.
Nice video!
I liked the AC-47 one very much, i would like if you could do a video on the AC-119 gunships, they are very forgotten and overshadowed by the AC-47 and AC-130
Love this channel. You do what you do very well sir. Very informative and better than many cable History channels I can think of.
I can never get over just watching those men fall like that dead without a chance
Artillery is an incredibly potent weapon, add the mud that was really more like quicksand and under the right conditions an entire army group could disappear
The whole dark channels has had my interest for the longest time, and the other day my buddies dad listed to a few with us as we worked and now he watches them also
Lest We Forget
Army: MIA.
Newspaper: Won.
Cultist: Ghost'ed.
Reality: Artillery'd
I don't understand why this was such a mystery. They left the dead behind in no man's land after a failed attack. What was so mysterious about it?
It would not surprise me if they were captured by enemies and just were never found, but the idea that something supernatural occured sounds really cool!
Losing 37 in WW1 seems bizarre in the sense of it being so abnormally low for this kind of war.
Great work. Love the narration.
