    My grandfather served in France in WW1. He was a veterinarian assistant. He rescued wounded horses and mules. We as children benefitted from his knowledge for our ponies and horses. We were horse crazy because of him.

    I had two relatives in WWI. My great great-grandfather and my great-grandfather both fought in the Portuguese Army in the Western Front in the same sector,curiously.
    My greatgrandfather got seriously injured and was evacuated in the hospital ship Glengorn Castle back to Portugal. My great great-grandfather came back only in July of 1919. We believe he fought in the Battle La Lys, and later died due to lung problems due to the exposure of mustard gas and other componnents.

    Imagine how eerie it would be if you took one of these songs and played it over a battlefield.
    The air is smoky, all the trees are bare or smoking. The ground is covered in deep pits left by the constant shelling. In the filthy, grimy water in those pits are bodies. Face-down, on the side, upside-down. Bleeding, decomposing bodies. Empty trenches, quiet and creepy. Makeshift graves, screaming artillery, scared and desperate men. So many dead, many more to come. Abandoned tanks, huge, hollow husks of a once terrifying and unstoppable machine. The sound of whistles, sending more men over the top and to their deaths. The rat-tat-tat or machine guns as people get mowed down by the hundred.
    Then, in the distance, you hear a sound. A happy sound, a band. With woodwinds, brass, and percussion instruments. They sing an upbeat tune, blissfully unaware of the horrid suffering happening at the battle site.
    Never forget the sacrifice all those millions of people made for an ultimately futile war. They had little to no say in the matter. They were just soldiers following orders.
    I hope I have opened your eyes to the horrors of the First World War, whoever read this far I wish you a good night and/or day......

    Don't know exactly, but my Grandmother's (on father's side) grandfather and possibly my Great Grandfather (on mother's side) fought in WW1 (With the Latter also possibly fighting in WW2 and possibly both the Balkan wars) on the Serbian Front against the Austro-Hungarians. The first one died in the war, when after the battle, a wounded Austrian Soldier who didn't want to surrender and get captured shot him in the head, and the second one (who was born in the 1890's, don't know the exact year) died in 1991, a few months before the civil war in Yugoslavia started. I was born a few years after the second one died, so i only heard stories from the ones who knew them, and they might not be true, but i want to believe they are.

      It's a long way to tipperary is British. It describes British places, and afaik it was a song to cheer up British soldiers.

      Ben Reynolds actually, it’s Irish. Tipperary is a town in Ireland. Although, at that point, ireland was british, technically.

      I hope you've visited the WWI museum in Kansas City, Missouri. A fabulous treasure for those of us who have family that fought in this war.
