Ironically, the Death Korps have a unique religion. They would not mourn their dead. They would salute them, for the virtue of service fulfilled. He who dies for the Emperor, lives forever at His side. Lads, it looks like the ammo ran out. They're coming. It has been my genuine honor to lead you these many years! Fix your bayonets, and wait for the word! I shall see you all before the Golden Throne. Let's not keep Him waiting eh? (whistle)
Christians not only believe that our dead have triumphed, and that they will be by our Father's side, but that we will meet them again in heaven and stand with them in the resurrection.
Nevertheless, we grieve when they are separated from us and morn the deaths of loved ones, even when we are certain of their joy in the hereafter.
Why would it not be the same for Kriegers, who for all their indoctrination are still human, to morn lost friends and loved ones?
@@morgant.dulaman8733 Before I say anything, I’m not an expert in Krieg lore and I’m not trying to insult you in anyway.
The Kriegers believe that death is the only way to truly atone for their past sins. Dying in the name of the Emperor is the ultimate display of faith. Each and every one of them are fully, wholeheartedly, willing to march into certain death if it meant that they could be forgiven by the Emperor. Every dead Krieger is a soul forgiven.
@@morgant.dulaman8733 1st, in WH40K, christianity is kinda pathethic and ancient.
2nd, the death korps of krieg dont really feel, they are seeing for the emperor's forgiveness by dying in the name of the emperor. Only in death shall duty be served, where all is forgiven and where there is peace. A kriegsmen does not wish to be remembered, for they have accepted to be a toolof the imperium. They have no thoughts for their dead, other than having served for the emperor and been forgiven.
@@theonly6blake911 Oh no, I'm in agreement on that point.
My only point was simply noting that while they may have gone through such indoctrination into the cult of sacrifice, its safe to assume they're going to have the same emotions as normal humans. A belief system can effect how a human being processes emotions such as joy and sadness, but it cannot change the fact that those emotions and responses to certain events are a necessary part of our existence.
@@Flacto-vs6np Please see my response to the comment by Blake.
No glory. Only death.
No defeat. Only victory.
No cowardice. Only courage.
No names. Only soldiers.
No Remembrance. Only to be forgotten.
Then tell the forgotten be leangen let them be part of the tomb of the forgotten soldier
:(
ouch
They would not have left the guns or helmets, they would have striped the body's of all salvageable equipment and reuse it for the next, no funeral service just left them there
@@sjwible nor would the kreisler have come back with flowers, but it makes an impactful edit
The fact he comes back but can't find them hurts me the most.
You'd expect that to happen after a year
@@BlandBoom only you.
@@Mad12jack if I made 4 makeshift graves on some planet with seasons comparable to earth's seasons nobody would expect them to last
Just being a bit realistic
And over the span of what looks like a year might I add
Bro tf you talking about.
"Alone, a guardsman can do nothing. But a Guardsman is never alone."
"Alone, a guardsman can do nothing."
The Cadian says with pikes through his hands chained to a wall.
He raises his head to meet the Black Legionnaire's face that has blazing demonic eyes peering through sunken flesh.
"But a guardsman is never alone."
In the distance, artillery begins decimating the compounds outer perimeter, whistles can be heard from all directions, and one chant bellowed by thousands of men.
"CADIA STANDS!"
The Emperor is always with you brother.
What I find so beautiful about this, is that their graves don't remain in a blasted wasteland. Life recovers and seeing how long it takes for something as resilient as a Lasgun to rot away, the place enjoys a lasting peace.
The death of these Kriegers meant something, their lives were not spent in vain.
Indeed, they become the foundation for life to sprout once more. For even if a Krueger dies, they still have the duty to bring life back to where they brought death. For even if they may never atone for their egregious sins against the god emperor of mankind, they still atone for death with their own life.
Hm? Wait inquisitor, I’m not talking heresy! What do you mean I’m a Nurgle cultist?! What even is th- *WAIT-*
I mean they would absolutely not have left their lasguns with their bodies, lasguns are expensive.
@@Hust91 pffft ha, no a lashing is a cheap piece of shit a us marine couldn’t even break
@@epicassassin8502 Many of the stories make it explicitly clear that a guardsman's gear is considered more valuable than the guardsman.
@@Hust91 as if people are expensive in 40k
The Kriegsman comes to honor his fallen brothers and sisters, but finds that the place where their graves once stood to be barren, the flowers that surround their graves covering and hiding the helmets. Making it seem like they were never there.
But he does not despair, for where once their markers stood on a blasted battlefield of torn and scarred earth, now they sleep amongst the vibrance of a living world. Their death was not in vain, their lives given so that the planet could survive and grow beautiful once more.
In life, shame. In death, atonement.
Theres nothing to mourn about a life spent in service to The Emperor, beloved by all.
They are with our holy father now
I think it supposed to Krieg itself, it an ideaised Krieg, that the Emperor has forgiven (in the mind of the Kriegers) hence why the grave markers didn't disappeared, they turned into the field of flowers (new life)
Just brothers. Kriegsman are almost certainly all a sort of clone of one incredibly hard bastard, that was willing to become a monster and nuke a world to near total oblivion, rathee than let it succeed from two Imperium.
If there are women on Krieg, and that's actually questionable, rhey would exist only to bare more soldiers and work to supply them arms and equipment.
Krieg exists purely for war. It's a loving hell that has absolutely no room for anything other than total war, as efficiently and zealously as possible.
What hits the hardest is that in-universe, those graves may have been marked but as soon as the area is secured those rifles and helmets will be given to new or current soldiers, so that the pattern can repeat again
Considering this planet turned into a paradise world, those Kreigers probably did something truly remarkable, those guns will never be touched again.

I’m sure they’d want nothing else. The Krieger’s philosophy is self destructive and to them being “forgiven” for the crimes of their people is to be forgotten.
That’s the true tragedy of Krieg, and why I will not weep for them… only pity them.
A Krieger does not wish for to be remembered
Only to be forgotten and forgiven
They wish to be the medicine for the imperium's illnesses and medicine must leave at some point
With their sins forgiven, they are to be forgotten
Their respect and drive, will not be not be known on a single hive
For their hard work, repaying the one who bought them
They will be wiped from every database, and in the end…they will be remembered by no archive
peace is the emperors forgiveness
“To Lament is to Remember.”
"Why do you weep?"
"He is of Krieg, he will not cry, so I cry for him."
My brothers we may be forgotten but our victory wont so don't stop pushing forward
The kriegsmen will never be forgotten, their sacrifices will always be remembered
Live and die for THE EMPEROR

For every inch a hundred men.
But thay are remembered.
to those brave souls this is the only gesture I can do "pours out a measure of Fenrisian Ale on the markers" now you stand with the Allfather may he protect you now and forever
To be forgotten is forgiveness
Rest in peace redeemed warriors
The Emperor does not forget His servants.
But then again... He forgave them long ago.
@@ladywaffle2210 The irony is that if they knew for sure it probably wouldn't change much.
Except of selfhatred they'd be eager to prove they deserve that forgiveness.
If I could forget I would lest we forget is a dumb saying it should be let as never forget
@@beee_cynical lest means "so we don't".
@@jasperzanovich2504Oh gods..if Kriegers are terrifying fighting to redeem themselves to the Emperor, imagine them now desiring to prove they've earned it.
In the 42nd millenium, much has happened, after the incredible actions of an imperial loyalist group that managed to bring back the broken and scattered souls of the god emperor to its body on Earth , much of the events at the galaxy at large became a blur, the war was no more a losing battle but an ever grander reconquest of all lost sectors and with the eye of terror finally shut and the final tyranide invasion stopped by an impromptu alliance between the Imperium of Mankind and the Silent King.
Much of the Imperial worlds we're at last, in peace.
One such planets was Krieg, a planet once known for producing millions of soldiers a month was now going a phase of regrowth with the vegetation and liberated animals free of their genetical modifications roaming the land.
After the last battle for erasure of the eye of terror, a titanical battle between thousands of demonic prince and the god emperor and its Custodes, 100% of all Krieg personnel were sent to fight in the name of the emperor.
In the aftermath of the battle, the God Emperor himself seeing the ever loyal Kriegsman action with a fervor that could rival even his own close guard.
Would officially pardon all of Krieg for their ancestors crimes.
But such an event reduced Kriegs forces to a barely 5 person strong unit, marking them as the last Kriegsman.
By their choice, no more soldiers would be produced, no more of Krieg would be used for war, no more death would come.
Bringing us now to the last Krieg, Keled R83940E84BT7 would approach the grave of his comrad and friend, lost during the finishing hours of the war against the tyranids.
Their death brought them full military honor with a parade and all that comes with it, but such a thing felt hollow to Keled. still having a part of his soul stuck to this era of his life that made him into a war machine.
So with nothing to do of his time, he would make 4 'final posts' for his comrad. in the true tradition of all dead kriegsman.
Now hundreds of years old, way older than any guardsman that ever breathed inside and outside of Krieg, Keled couldnt stop himself to check one last time on the resting place of his comrad.
That's probably the very best ending you could get from an existence where there was only war.
As it could be much worse.
Get a Salamander, he needs a hug
The Emperor protects…
That would be kick ass ending if made cannon
The Emperor! *Protects!*
It is said that if the Emperor were to ever walk among his subjects once more, he could crush the fighting spirit, madness and the very will of the kriegsmen with but three words……
“I forgive you”
"Kriegsmen, we are forgiven. No more zealous carnage and sacrifice to atone for our ancestor's sin." "...umh...comrades...we...we should find a way to thank the god emperor for his love and mercy....any ideas?" "...how about we thank him with zealous carnage and sacrifice?" "Works for me. Fix your bayonetts. For the love of the emperor! CHARGEEEEE!"
@@phreakazoith2237now you making me imagine that scenario, nice
they would only fight harder.
Baldermort…
Remember the comrades who fought with you, sacrifice for you because they will not forget you
If that is true then why do we not know who are great-great-great-grandfather is...

Seeing the nine grave marks indicates that he maybe the last of his squad, I see an officer's helm, a grenadier and a few other rank distinction, it must also indicate that they must be the youngest. He was reassigned and later revisited the tomb of his fallen comrades, a noble sentiment towards their fallen brethren.

I like to think that this Krieger is the one from the memes about Kreig Perpetual, still remembering his brothers after all these decades.
Maybe. Who knows how many times he has died for the emperor so far.
The Krieg are exactly who I think of when I think "Only in death does duty end"
lets be honest, if Kriegers could find a way back from beyond death, Emperor knows they would

This poem reminded me of the Soviet poem "Wait for Me" by Konstantin Simonov:
Wait for me, and I'll come back!
Wait with all you've got!
Wait, when dreary yellow rains
Tell you, you should not.
Wait when snow is falling fast,
Wait when summer's hot,
Wait when yesterdays are past,
Others are forgot.
Wait, when from that far-off place,
Letters don't arrive.
Wait, when those with whom you wait
Doubt if I'm alive.
Wait for me, and I'll come back!
Wait in patience yet
When they tell you off by heart
That you should forget.
Even when my dearest ones
Say that I am lost,
Even when my friends give up,
Sit and count the cost,
Drink a glass of bitter wine
To the fallen friend -
Wait! And do not drink with them!
Wait until the end!
Wait for me and I'll come back,
Dodging every fate!
"What a bit of luck!" they'll say,
Those that would not wait.
They will never understand
How amidst the strife,
By your waiting for me, dear,
You had saved my life.
Only you and I will know
How you got me through.
Simply - you knew how to wait -
No one else but you.

This nearly made me shed a tear. This really humanizes the Kriegsman. Thank you for making this work of art.
Kriegers are just people. Indoctrinated, bred to kill, but still people. So even if a Krieger, told to find redemption in death, when he is in immense pain, physical or otherwise, he will react like any other would. They are no different to you and me.
This video shows that :)
You've cried at "Cadia stands!"
Now get ready for "Krieg is forgiven"
FINALLY something that matters.
Cuz in reality Cadia falling didn't effect anything for the Cadia Shock Troopers
I wait for the time when The God Emperor of mankind says these words "krieg is frogiven" I wait for the time when the Kriegsmen fight to honor the will of their god not to endlessly atone for the sins they have long atoned for.
Brothers, it is our duty
Do not falter your duty because our brothers have finished theirs
Do not let their death make the hellfire falter
Brothers remember, it is our duty to make sure that the deaths of our brothers in arms are not there to hurt us, but to be the strength to guide our fury into the enemy
We die for the Emperor, so that he may forgive us for what we have done. But none of us will die we will live on as the proud servants of the emperor.

Damn, could you imagine if Krieg eventually got destroyed and there was one Krieger left in the galaxy, and he has to continuously battle his lust to die gloriously to carry on the legacy of his homeworld
"We must not be remembered, our sin must be purged and our death must happen, perhaps in death, The God Emperor forgives our offense, we must live and die for him, only then will we be forgotten and forgiven by our lord"
That's what I think... But I'm weak, a sinner who deserves death and should be able to accept it, but there is no more battle to fight and no enemy to fight to the death, finally the war is over, and my hell is to live my life freely, i won't be remembered, but I will not be forgiven either... This is the payment for the sin of my people, and I must bear it as the only one who can do it.

Theres an Old Poem from the Ancient Terrans that fits perfectly...
In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
underrated
(: i see what you did
I like the symbolism of the red poppies. It's a small touch but makes it so much more.
I don't see it, enlighten me.
@@TiernanHousman Red poppies are commonly associated with Memorial Day and remembering the sacrifices of dead soldiers, particularly ones from the First World War.
Especially so, since the Kriegsmen were based on WW1 troops of German aesthetic.
@@TiernanHousman poppy's have long since been associated with war, because of the legend that their petals were once white, until the blood of fallen soldiers forever stained their petals red. So when you see a poppy, see the blood red petals, remember the fallen that made them like that, remember the fallen that gave the ultimate sacrifice
@@TiernanHousman after the first world war they were the first life to regrow in what was no mans land
This punched me right in the feels and had me crying. Hauntingly beautiful, not just in this context, but in any context. The poem made me think of my grandfather who passed nearly ten years ago and made my heart crack open anew. I miss him so much.
You poor fellow imperial citizen. Rest knowing that in death all of us find peace. And that in the end, you honour the fallens by following their teachings and working over them.
Success is what you define it as such, and all before you only want you to be more successful than they ever were.
Dont weep over the fallen but salute and honor then for what they have done for you themself and the world may he find peace alast o7
He closed the box, retied it’s ribbon. He held it to his heart, let it rise and fall with his chest as he breathed deeply. “We do not forget”, the colonel muttered to himself.
For those who like Krieg and was to see a more human side to them, read Dead Men Walking if you can find a copy relatively affordably.
A kriegsman prepares to sacrifice himself for an important mission. He produces a small wooden box. The contents of that box are his comrades bone fragments. He has this so his comrades can be with him during their redemption.
This reminds me of a sad reality I noticed at State College PA
Scattered around are crosses left in memory of people who died when hit by cars.
I lived there for 7 years and saw crosses lost to weather conditions
I eventually realized how they got replaced.
There is no group that tends them or keeps track.
These people who died are from elsewhere, even different countries.
Their families are far away.
Their classmates graduate and leave.
Where then, do the new crosses come?
You already know but may not want to say.

Weep not, for the fallen Kreigsman, for his life was not his own to give. Cry not, for the fallen Kreigsman, as his duty did he could not outlive. He dug the trenches, as he dug the graves. Each strike was true, and it was all he gave.
Pity not the Kreigsman, who approaches our Emperor's welcoming door. The Kreigsman that falls, falls no more.
There are two deaths, the first is when our body dies, the second and sadder death is when someone remembers your name and face for the last time.

The imagery of the soldiers cross will always bring me to tears. "All gave some, but some gave all"
I like to imagine that this Krieger lives long enough to become a general that survives countless of wars and he wonders when it is his turn to join his brothers and sisters in arms.
Whilst the individual in 40K that fights in the Imperial Guard will most certainly be forgotten by their name, the Emperor will forever remember their service and their victories will always be remembered and celebrated by those that live in the worlds tarnished from war from generation to generation.
Honestly, a really humble animation, though static, it has a lovely but suitable melancholy charm to it, keep up the good work!
You got me welling up now.
“Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep” is what my great Uncle Clifford recited to my Dad and I before he passed away. He was 85 years old.
The fact he was carrying poppies hit me very hard; poppies are the flower of death in war and the strongest representation of WW1; which the Death Korps are based on WW1 Germany.
There was a lot about this that hit hard with me; especially since the graves are long since gone by the time the one who made them has returned.
The Kriegers are an amalgamation of all WW1 troops.
Their name and helmets are German, their uniforms are French, their gasmasks British.
You know, if you think about it, the ultimate dream for Krieg is a world where they're no longer needed. If all the enemies have fallen, then there is no purpose for them any longer. They will have finally, at last, redeemed themselves through service.
My brothers; My sisters; Everybody's gone.
I never felt this emotion inside of me, for the first time I am hopeless.
I'm afraid.
This made me tear up almost straight away, it's a poem iv heard all too often and it saddens me very time I hear it. However this time it reminded me of the first time I heard this poem, which was at my uncle's funeral, he was KIA in temor when I was still a young boy. God I miss him so much 😔
Gone but never forgotten RIP to our honoured fallen.

The field full of poppies is so beautiful. Because poppies are symbolic of a peaceful death, are associated with Remembrance Day (the end of WW1), and the Kriegers are modeled after WW1 German soldiers.
This was beautiful
I don't know a single thing about 40k except that space christians fight aliens, but this was truly beautiful.
In the grim darkness of the far future, the flowers bloom, the sun shines, and an unforsaken soul is given rest.
The feel of pain, sorrow, and sadness that hit me really hard. Truly a chad soldier feel the lost and despair of their closest brotherhood died in the deadly war for us. They protecting humanity and guiding light of the emperor soul. May the Death krieg truly found their atoment and peace. We will never forget what they do for us. As their fight in the deadliest war in the warhammer40k universe is always eternal.

For me the best thing about this, is how the environment recovers and returns to its previous state before whatever battle they died in took place. For things like their helmets to vanish completely, their resting place must have enjoyed a lasting peace. This means that the battle they gave their lives in was not fought in vain.

God man why do you have to make me feel emotional
Just thought I’d put this here, the flowers that cover the field look to be Poppies, they were popularized during WW1 because they still bloomed in the terrible conditions of no-mans land, it was believed that they were red because of the blood that sank into the ground.
Now why I bring up Poppies is because a famous WW1 poem called “Flanders Field” is about Poppies, and it was created after someone witnessed the death of a close friend.
Poppies are also worn as a reminder of WW1 and that we won’t forget those that gave their lives, this sound eerily familiar.
WW1 was also were Blitzkrieg was born, pioneered by the German Stormtroopers.
Stupid piece of art ...
I thought that I would get a smile, maybe a small laugh, Not a bolter shot to my soul ... I am glad I got to see this ... I have been needing to cry for so long ... It feels so good and bad at the same time, thank you
I recommend rewatching this att a time of total silence (possibly att night) it makes everything feel peaceful
It's the 42nd millennium,the imperium has collapsed into several independent dominions,many worlds have changed over the years,chief among them being Krieg,which has gone from a desolate wasteland to a lush,green world with fertile soil,an old member of the death korps watches over the graves of his fallen comrades,looking with hopeful eyes to the future,knowing that his people have finally achieved what they've always wanted,freedom which will be enjoyed by his children and grandchildren onto eternity...
I’m gonna be honest, as simple as this seems, the use of poetry and such beautiful imagery that had such amazing light and depth, meaning. Had made me cry by the time the kriegsmen came back to see that his brothers had passed onto other planes, for at least that’s how this made me feel with the imagery presented and the words spoken.

Rough translation from Russian
"No te pares en mi tumba a llorar” de Mary Elizabeth Frye:
No te pares en mi tumba a llorar.
No estoy ahí. Yo no duermo.
Soy los mil vientos que soplan.
Soy los destellos de diamante en la nieve.
Soy la luz del sol sobre el maduro grano.
Soy la suave lluvia de otoño
cuando despiertes en la mañana silenciosa.
Soy la rápida y estimulante carrera
de tranquilos pájaros que vuelan en círculos.
Soy las estrellas suaves que brillan por la noche.
No te pares en mi tumba a llorar.
No estoy ahí. Yo no morí.
Después de dada por muerto
Los krieg me parecen mas que simples máquinas , en el fondo siguen siendo tan humanos pero saben que tienen un deber

I feel for this guy he was the last survivor of his team and he had to say goodbye to all of them and when he had a chance to comeback he couldn’t find the ones he used to call brother
In fact, there is an even greater tragedy here if you understand the context. The Krieg Death Corps are recruited from a planet that is a nuclear wasteland. They are psychologically broken during training, turning them into pathological suicides thinking only about Death and atonement for the separatism of 500 years ago. And then one survivor tries to honor the death of his comrades-in-arms and regret that he is still alive, because for them death is atonement for their sins of betrayal. For him it is literally possible torture.
The fact that the Kreigsman lived long enough to come back to the grave hits harder.
My cat passed from this world a few days ago... this helped me a little.
In war, victory
In peace, vigilance

The old saga of man has reached finality,
Within the stars thousand upon thousands of worlds struggle to keep the dying empire of humanity alive but all is lost as the tides of darkness sweep over the flicking light of the imperium even the renowned and martial worlds which sent forth the greatest of all guardsmen even they would find Doom but some remains a symbol for last host against chaos, Krieg the wreched deathworld that is it did not give in even after terra fell and the Emperor's fate unknown,
The Death Korps were still unwilling and What great cosmic comedy is it for this world to be the one to where the plague god's grip of mankind to finally be Loosen but krieg as a planet was gone after that gruelling battle,
Yetmany kriegsman would still reach and join the last host and they the children born of guilt and penance would be the ones to give way for mankind's final gambit.
A lone kriegsman stand alone within the shattered world which would decide the fate of the galaxy and mankind, He doesnt know if the last host of order's gambit succeed or failed, He can feel the emperor's light wanning upon his soul but he assured himself that as long as his light remains all is not yet lost. The Kriegsman grab his broken lasgun and steadily marches on the ongoing battle within the hive City and muttered "Krieg will be forgotten".
How dare you make me feel these emotions!
That was perfect!
The fact that this can relate to any soldier is what hurts me the nost
This makes me remember a game that has a place in my mind and heart rent free, valiant hearts: the great war. It gives me those emotions, emotions of humanity and loss that paired with the music make a perfect duo
There is and shall never be an end, for so long as the Emperor sits upon his well of light within the golden city, shall Krieg forever answer the call. Every. Bloody. Time.
This is the most emotional video I’ve seen😢
the poem and reading is beautiful, the context of Krieg doesn't take away from it at all and in ways makes you think. Thank you
“I have something to say. It’s better to burn out than fade away!”
Its amazing despite literally no emotion can be seen from the kreigers face you somehow know how he feels just from his cold stare
They have found their retribution in the arms of his majesty the god emperor and although there names may be forgotten their sacrifice will never be they have earned their rest
Goodbye my brothers
This sadness is only quenched by the thought that they got ripped to shreds by Orkz who had a Hell of a time doing it.
They have a very “see you in Valhalla” kind of mentality, probably the most focused on their own mortality in the entire 40k universe, which says a lot, it’s something you can really respect.
Well this is disgustingly beautiful
I’m not sure what or why but this hit me in the feels the fact he comes back looking for there graves but can’t find them is tragic but the fact that the graves where ar on point on this blasted wasteland but now lie under lush vegetation is both beautiful and tragic but shows life will recover things will get better even if it’s not immediately apparent but that poem is both incredibly tragic and hopeful
'No one knows this world like he who has a brother in the land.'
Outstanding work Brother Ghost
Apparently it was actually written by a person called Clare Harner in the 1930s, but Fry kept insisting it was her until much later.
But otherwise great video wow!
This is just so beautiful and sad I can’t imagine how it would be for krieg’s soldier to participate at a funeral of his dead brother after end of the war.
maybe they wouldn’t care
Maybe they will cry in their gas mask.
Deep. We are not truly dead until we are forgotten.
This was said at my grandpa's funeral. Thank you for this
A masterpiece cannot be destroyed or be capy but it can see someone who is in pain and who is in joy to no matter what happens thier is light that you can follow
После ролика мои глаза стали слезиться, а лицо подвергаться судорогами, вспоминая всех старых друзей в steam и просто хороших людей в прошлых игровых сессиях, которых больше никогда не встречу? Я уже не помню их имен и голосов, но моментально узнаю по их личности. С вами я прошел сквозь огонь и воду, ошибки и достижения. Вы меня обучали и давали мудрость, а взамен я делился с другими вами. Я был с вами короткое время, но заполненным яркими моментами. Я продолжал с вами контакты до конца в горе и в радости. Я был рад с вами провести время и желаю вам безмятежной жизни.
Надеюсь, что я не стал вашим последним компаньоном ...
Я не один такой со списком «без вести пропавших» и «игровым кладбищем» ?
Ты Не Один.
As our own soldiers, many are forgotten, First world war, the second, and many more. This is a tribute to remember our own. "We shall not rest, till forgiven."
Really one of the best creations
Do not go gentle into that good night, scream and fight against the blight.
And once your battle is done, rest knowing the emperor's light.
For you, who fought against the night, deserve nothing but a peaceful night.
-Modification of 'Do not go gentle into that night'
This is a beautiful war memorial. For a fictional army or not.
The forgotten dead deserve their honors, and even when the names fade from memory their actions and legacy deserve observance.
