Over There | US army WW1 footage in Color

- The footage is from the documentary TV series "Apocalypse: World War 1", which I highly recommend.
"Over There" is a 1917 hit song written by George M. Cohan that was popular with United States military and public during both world wars. It was a patriotic song designed to galvanize American young men to enlist in the army and fight the "Hun". The song is best remembered for a line in its chorus, "The Yanks are coming."

imagine a civil war veteran seeing how much war has changed during ww1 since the 1860s.
Kirk Callejo Imagine him living to see the atom bomb
Kirk Callejo the last civil war vet died in from 1848-1963
"Grabs Lewis gun" where do I pour the gun powder?
They did
The last civil war vet died in the 30s
Most people think WW1 soldiers are just textbook heroes. This footage just reminds us at the end of the day they were just normal human beings brought up into a Great War.
AlbertoSaurus true. But special divisions of exclusive troops did the more dangerous and important missions, they had the craziest experiences that people often fantasize about. The front lines was mostly just trench fighting, sniping, and artillery.
AlbertoSaurus the grunts at least. The higher ranks in WW1 were extremely talented and capable with the new technology that was available. They were masters of combat.
AlbertoSaurus Full Metal Jacket ww1?
AlbertoSaurus I fought I was the only one
AlbertoSaurus the thing is they were very patriotic to fight in war and where desperate to see action
can we talk about the badass shaving on a moving train
He looks cool as fuck to be honest
Sheaa
@ 2:22
He is one badass. I bet he killed over 80 Huns with that striat Razer, before the War was over.
I aspire to be that dope one day...
Love how there's footage of British and French advisers helping train Americans. One of the more successful collaborations
2:39
A French soldier showing Americans how to throw an F1 Grenade. Pretty sure it's an F1, anyway.
Huh, we still practice that form of grenade toss today.
Plus the tanks shown in the video are all French Renault FT17’s, the forerunner of all modern tanks(and would actually still be used by the French in large numbers in WW2)
@@82dorrin thats a french soilder showing a american soidler somwthing
haaaaa i loved that
though i had no clue what that french who was showing the american hes throwing a gernade was doing
It is so crazy that this is 100 years old.... WOW
Johnny Get your gun get your gun
It is not surprising to me
Almost! next year on November the 11th it'l be 100 years old
Huh, so the song was made on 9/11.
celebrate the song or mourn the old world trade centre?
Huh? 9/11 Happened During September.
My Great Grandfather got Drafted June 5th 1917, 26 years old. We found his draft papers
Schwinn Stingray Guy my great granddad was in the battle of Argonne
What was his name?
Do you know the Division or unit he was in?
Schwinn Stingray Guy Mine enlisted and was in the thick of the fighting, he was one badass soldier I dont know how he made it out of that war when your orders were basically suicide to charge 20 Maxim machineguns, etc.
Schwinn Stingray Guy whoah June 5th is the day I was born
2:00. Original badasses.
The original A-Team.
Never seen soldiers so happy and eager to go to war. Probably because this was the first time they were marching to a world wide war.
I imagine European soldiers were the same in 1914, before they realized what modern war was like.
Well most of them thought they were going on the pretense of it being a dangerous but rewarding adventure. Morale was pretty high until they got in the trenches and saw the horrors that awaits.
FluxCapacitor actually the 7 years war was technically the First World wide war lol
They had no idea what they were walking into
Yeah, they had no idea what to expect. I'm sure they felt different as soon as they reached the front line.
Everyone we're seeing in this footage are dead now.
Rebellium dang u beat me to it
lonewolf060 my great aunt was born after my great great grandfather got back from Germany
No you stupid rebellium WE LIVE ON, WEEEE LIVE ON. AND, THE USA is the USA because WE LIVE ON because over-there WE ARRIVED
The infants could be alive. All VETERANS from WW1 are gone, but there are a handful of people who lived during that time period still kicking today.
True for every combatant. The last living ww1 vet died around 2012
My Great Great Grandfather was a Doughboy.
Ryan T mine was in the frontlines in Germany so a doughboy too i guess
Ryan T my great great grandfather fought in the war for the Allies, and his son fought three decades later for the Axis...
***** yup
My great great grandfather was a doughboy!
Ryan T nice!
Can't believe everyone in this video is dead now sad to even think of it tbh but damn can't believe this video is more than 100years old already
Yeah you're right. To think RUclips is that old, huh?
I feel alone with everyone gone now
Not completely true. Some people are 100 years old.
Daniels688 but everyone who fought in ww1 is dead.
Respect your vets while you still can when they are alive
My mind can't comprehend these people were real and had a life like rah that's deep
C1 Official yep and they dropped it all to go fight in a far away land for reasons from a land far away government
Louis Napoleon Nelson actually, a way larger reason was a telegraph sent from Germany to Mexico. Britain intercepted and and showed it to the Americans. The public and government were infuriated. They broke peace in March of 1917.
Don't for get the unrestricted Submarine Warfare.
so you just thought they didnt. you require a strict hard education
TT MINOTAUR well from what my Gramps told me they weren't as strict then
Really sad to think about how many of these young men had their lives cut short. God bless our veterans
God already blessed them☠️☠️☠️
@@monkeyman369Nah 💀💀💀💀💀
@@monkeyman369now they’re up there serving him 🙏
My grandfather served in WWI, in France. A scout in the Signal Corps. He was gassed, got a Purple Heart, and undoubtedly had PTSD.
I recall him telling me how the horses panicked during shelling, but the mules didn't - a clear indication that he experienced the shelling, too.
I was a little kid when he relayed this. Also explained how it was so cold in the winter, they'd looked for a farm manure pile to lay their bedrolls, bc it would be warm due to composting. About finding the wine cellar and imbibing. R.I.P.
Rip F
R.I.P thank you for your service up in heaven
May he rest peacefully!
My great-grandfather was in this war too, suffered PTSD & was gassed. I came across a picture of him in his uniform that I had never seen before, and it made me have tears of sadness and happiness in my eyes.
God bless all these men.🙌❤️
Everyone who dislikes this video is disrespecting the doughboys
There Germans.
Antifa Alert!
No disrespect for doughboys, just for colorization.

Imagine that someone films footage of the city you live in and you appear in a scene where you walk out that door and its published in 2218 and somebody in the comments say "wow its so sad that everybody in the film is dead sad emoji" and then your reply be like "are you sure about that"
Oh yeah yeah
Maine I’m in the litty committee
My grandfather was sent over with the Wisconsin regiment. As far as I know he was part of the ambulance corps in France. That was where he met my grandmother and were married. My grandfathers army buddy married her sister. Whenever I see film or photos of WWI soldiers I try to find my grandfather in them. I always thought he would be easy to spot since he was 6' 4" tall. His buddy was around 5' 6" tall.
Beautiful story, I will keep an eye out for any giant soldier 😊
1917: "Johnny Get Your Gun"
2018: "I'm offended."
Those where the good old days.
2018: "america"
Still 2018:im offended

Yeah we should go back to the good ole days where we slaughtered each other in the millions for absolutely no reason.

This guy shaving on a moving train looks cool as fuck, I've seen other comments saying but I just wanted to spread the word.

Great Grandfather was an American who joined the Canadian army in order to get in the fight, Was an artillery man who sent gas canisters to the enemy.
No my great grandfather was not African American. He joined the war before the United States was even involved.
VeryMeanSid that's not true at all. Where did you ready that
Eelias Maybe not the most pleasant job, but someone had to do it :/
Amazing, the 2nd time the US and France working together again
American Imperialist Why?
American Imperialist You do realize France has won more wars than the US right? And held out against Germany for 4 years losing almost an entire generations worth of men? France officially surrendered in WW2 but what were they supposed to do? Keep fighting as most of there troops were encircled and the Germans took paris? Officially they surrendered but the Free French forces kept fighting with the allies till the wars end, and the French resistance stayed strong
and both times america did most of the work
The Americans owe a lot to the French for the aid they gave you during the Revolutionary War.
@@gregorystorey6425 I think liberating Paris is payback enough
Hard to believe this song is 100 years old
BeatlesBoy 1234 over 100 years
Yep
Still catchy
I love your pfp
How is that hard to believe? People regularly listen to classical music much older than that
no one even commented this detail? i love how it progresses to the training camp to mainland france or mainland europe till it progresses to the battlefield
2:00 when you enter the wrong classroom
100 years ago today...
descendant of WW1 kids here
2018: I’m going to join the track team since all my friends joined it!
1914: I’m going to join the military because all my friends joined it, and I’m 10 years old!
Bruh,10 years old?,are you high? Only kids in their teens (mostly 14’s or 15’s) would be able to bypass the eye of the Recruiters 10 yr old kids would get caught quickly due to their height and their voice seriously go read a book although there is some younger than 10’s like Momčilo Gavrić from Serbia in the military but in general only 14 year old or 15’s can join the military in ww1.
r/woooosh
The Passana Journals bruh.
There was a 12 year old in ww1
I have a great respect for these heroes.
This is not the car insurance I was expecting.
I love the aesthetic of the WWI US Army. Its like the halfway point between the cowboy-esque Indian War/Spanish American War army and the fully industrialized WWII army
My great great grandfather's two brothers John and Alfred were killed the same day in the battle of pachindale in 1917 there body's were never found.RIP
That's awesome to see General John "Black Jack" Pershing awarding medals to the doughboys at the end of the film. Awesome job on the colorization of the old film footage and adding in the song as well. Its amazing to finally see such footage exists instead of looking at pictures in a history textbook or magazine.
Rest in peace to all the soldiers that died in this war, and the veterans that survived and then passed away
I mean some of them definitely rested in pieces
I love the devotion of all these guys and gals that served our country. THANK YOU BELOVEDS, THANK YOU
gals? lol as if women served in ww1
"gals". btw this wasnt 2 years ago when peolpe were smart about "free will" and let women fight too, no they were 100 years ago, this information about your comment leads me to believe your a libtard.
@joseph Stalin Not in WWI, but they did have a single battalion of volunteer women at the very end of the war.
Women did serve as nurses and ambulance drivers in some armies thou.
Yeah don’t forget all those men from the European colonies being forced to fight for a freedom that evidently didn’t come ‘till after ww2 and revolutions.
My great grandfather was in WW1 and my great grandmother was also in WW1, she made the bullets in the factories for our boys
I love being American
En faisant des travaux dans le plancher du grenier de ma maison à Verdun cette été j'ai découvert un protège gourde Mle 1912 de l'US Army, Thank You Yanks!!!!

You're welcome bud. We would have been drawn into it long sooner or later anyways though.
VSV 55 have u never heard of the Zimmerman note we almost went to war with you for a second time

It’s crazy to think that everyone in this film is dead..
Can we just thank the French soldier who was demonstrating how to throw a grenade
Not now, maybe after the war.
Simo Haya BEST SNIPER 🥶😱
he was a French soldier? LMFAO@@usafrukussr8456
Lol the french with their blue uniforms.
The French have a long history of warfare and actually trained the incoming US soldiers...but yeah wearing a bright blue uniform in a (at the time) modern war was a very stupid choice that should have been dropped a couple of months in to the war. Also I don't envy the soldiers who have to maintain those in muddy wet trenches for weeks on end.
May all these brave souls that served our country rest in piece 🇺🇸 ♾.

Nice job, Arch Stanton. My grandfather was gassed in WW1 and survived, but was never the same. He died a few years later.
I would give my right arm to be as badass as those men were and I was a Marine for 8 years
Bro just say this to flex
What about your left arm?
i mean he has every right to, he served.@@forevergone3637
My Great Great Grandfather was in the air force (still in the army in this time) and my great grandfather was I'm the army in Korea and switched to marines for Vietnam.
The army's air force was called the air corps during ww1.
You did a great job cutting this together.
This is both heartwarming and haunting
Great footage! Nice upload! Good patriotic song!
I can't believe that this was shot 100 years ago.
Thanks for being the 15th person to write that.
Training for war with wooden rifles and cannon. We wound up just as unprepared for WW2. May we never again let down our guard. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
So are alliances and allies. Our security depends upon having not to do it alone. Isolationism was tried. That's when we had a smaller army than most European countries and in WW I no aircraft fit for combat. We flew Brit or French models.
its crazy to think everyone in this video is dead
Well, they lived in one point, in time. And they made a huge difference in WW1.
A-Task Productions
Besides the babies that they held up, maybe
It's cool to see the bond between the French, British, and American forces throughout this footage
"We won't come back till it's over over there." Some didn't come back at all... RIP Robert Kent Gardner and Frank Robertson. You will never be forgotten.
Perfect!!!
Over 100 years old this film is and putting color to it is amazing.

I don’t think people talk about WW1 as much as WW2.
This war did something’s WW2 didn’t do like trench warfare, and stuff with aircraft.
Yep. It was far more worse for soldier than ww2,, though

So my house had a uniform from my great grandad and it was in my basement in a box. We finally took it out and I was l like “what the-“ I thought to myself that this was from 100 years ago. It is in perfect condition (besides the mold and 1 small tear from the war). It’s awesome
Fact that every person you saw here is dead is terrifying
Yes that's how time works Hal
Very nice collection of WWI clips. At 1:08 "MOVE THE RIFLE AROUND YOUR HEAD, NOT YOUR HEAD AROUND THE RIFLE!"
very good and classic songs like its a long way to typperary i'm addicted to this genre even though they are outdated since 1960 and replaced by modern music like pop or rock hope you make a variety of music like this again.
1:28 what a GOOD BOY!
I have a recipe for "Poor Man Cake" I got from my mother and grandmother. It's made without butter or eggs, and dates back at least to the first world war; in wartime materials are scarce, and creative cooks did what they could with what they had.
The poor man cake my mother made had walnuts and cream cheese frosting, but the original cake was made without nuts or frosting.
I like how for most of the video it looks like fun and games, then suddenly near the end it cuts to actual warfare, the once cheerful music slowly fades away.
James George actually most of the "warfare" scenes were staged filmed after the battle or in reserve trenches sines photographers weren't usually allowed on the front lines and that cameras back then were big unstable and took time to set up no way could you have a camera in the front trench or in no mans land everyone around it would be dead so all that it's all fake staged warfare footage "nobody was inured in the filming of this video "
@@jacobmanney5455 It's archive footage from a French documentary called Apocalypse WW1 most of it is real footage some is not but on the video most of it should be genuine as it mostly shows noncombat and artillery support so it should be real. Watch the documentary you will see you can tell when it stage and when it is not
Everyone in this is dead
Thanks captain obvious
No not at all. Grown men can live 100 years easy 😂
Bryant Guidry Yeah, but like 120...dude. if someone was born in 1918, yeah, but if the average soldier here is about 20-25 that won't work...
Like you

0:51 boyz just are having fun
Great music
Love it
Saw comments saying "My grandfather" and I was confused for a min cause it was 100 years ago. Then I realized WW1 vets are the grandfather's of Baby Boomers. 😂
That's extremely scary to think about
Watching this makes me so patriotic
We have so much to be grateful for.
2:09
That is the most French stereotypical guy I have ever seen
Tomorrow is November 11, 2018 - the one hundreth anniversary of the end of World War I - Remember!
At 2:56 and 3:15, I would recommend to turn up your volume 👍
My Great Grandfather was there, right in the trenches. He survived the war which was a blessing as my Grandpa was born right after :)
It's very interesting to know that to make this in color, each frame is hand painted
When your British friend Tommy is getting bullied by Hans from Germany
Its more like when your friends Tommy, his little brothers, and Louis are getting bullied by Hans, Franz, and Mehmed.
Kinda remarkable how little DI's uniforms have changed since then.
WWI:Over there,Over there
Today:OVER HERE,RETREAT
It's sad to think that all if not, almost all of these soldiers died just a moment after this video
But they didn’t though.
Crazy to think some Civil War veterans were still alive when this war happened.
Acutually millions of Civil War √ets were alive and very active in government and civil society
during the first world war when
America joined that war 52 years
after Lee surrendered.
Just a pity it took them over a year to get "Over There" and join in. War entry April 1917, First US troops land in France June 1917. First US battle May 1918. War ended November 1918. 6 months participation from 20 months. in the war. Thank you, General Pershing.
Yet, in that short time, US troops had
much higher average casualty rates
then they would have in the second world war. The US suffered over 100,000 deaths from six months of actual combat and that was after Pershing insisted on US units receiving proper training and
equipment versus being fed into
the meat grinder as replacement
divisions under French and British
commanders. America would have
lost a million guys had they fought
for a whole year under allied Generals.
Pershing not only insisted US troops be properly trained, he insisted they go into combat under American leadership
using American tactics that returned the fighting on the western front to mobile warfare over continuing the trench warfare
of the last 4 years.
Did anyone here about that dog that fought in ww1. His name was stubby and he got promoted to sgt for capturing a german spy
Johnny finally marched back home just to realise he had to get his gun again, and go over there.
