Its funny how these videos show all the troops in a happy in good mood......half them died in the trenches and lived their last moments in miserable conditions. Good song
***** Pretty sure that pretty much every major power in that war had a casualty rate of at least 40 or 50%. Australia had 65%, the highest out of any and it wasn't even a power
Mister Pat Malone, upon the continong, Was fighting in the Irish fusiliers. One night in the camp he rose to sing a song, And all the Tommies greeted him with cheers. Said Pat: "I'll sing a song about our gallant fighting men. Although we've had a tussle with the Germans now and then"; "Are we downhearted?" "No!" "Then let your voices ring And altogether sing! Are we downhearted?" "No!" "Not while Britannia rules the waves!" "Not likely!" "While we have Jack upon the sea And Tommy on the land, we need not fret. It's a long, long way to Tipperary, But we're not downhearted yet!" With a Frenchy girl Pat toddled out one night, And arm in arm they strolled, you may depend, Till a dozen pals all sang out with delight, "Hello, hello there, who's your lady friend?" Said Patrick, "I don't know her name, but listen here old pal, If this is what they give us with the Entente Cordiale"; "Are we downhearted?" "No!" "Then let your voices ring And altogether sing! Are we downhearted?" "No!" Not while Britannia rules the waves!" "Not likely!" "While we have Jack upon the sea And Tommy on the land, we need not fret. It's a long, long way to Tipperary, But we're not downhearted yet! ("continong" was a sort of Cockney way of pronouncing "continent")

10%. Not 50%.

Selvinski Wilhelm The guy I replied to said 'died in the trenches', not became a casualty.
***** lol ok sorry, next time gotta read the question proper hey :P
they probably got pointed a rifle to look happy
always liked music from the 10s 20s 30s. nice song selection in Verdun :)
That's when all the best stuff was made :-)
Not the best but some of the really great stuff that's up there
damn i love that footage
Verdun Game FTW!
I’m playing that now
First time I ever heard this wasn't actually in the game Verdun. It was a mod of Battlefield 1942, called Battlefield 1918
No it wasn’t bf1918 it was the Great War mod
i discovered this from a ww1 game on roblox and i love it, game was called Trench War
This is my favourite song! I know this song by heart but I'm from Russia.
I know some old soviet war songs by heart. I can recite "the sacred war" accurately.. I'm American, russia is so great!
@@toyotawitha20mm35 👍

I found this in the Pop Music section. What the hell.
1910 pop music
It's almost like Pop isn't a genre. Weird idea, I know.
@@absinthefandubs9130 what IS pop though, does anyone know for sure?
@@finnegan6464 Pop is an subtile exploding sound, like the one bubbles do.
It’s almost like their sending you message
Enjoyed song & accompanying pictures, thanks for sharing.
Only 1916's kids will remember
Christ, these were the times.
300 feet radiuses of sat elite voice recognition
Do to neighbor's ease droppin
Like the song, Wish I had some lyrics for it. Some parts are a bit gargled. Thanks for the upload.

It seems to me that many of the people affected, accepted their poverty etc without question, knowing 'their place."
Verdun
I bet my Granddads were somewhere on these scenes 😢
hmm I always thought it was "are we down or dead?"
Go and type ''Tamo daleko'' serbian song from ww1
not disappointed!
Reading Private Peaceful
Christ. Now look at us. What went wrong? Lol
@This Apple Judges Based. LOL
i dunno, i think we've been doing right by the classic principle of '15,000,000 to 22,000,000 (!) people dead in 4 years is a bad thing', y'feel me?
Sociology gone wrong
