    If you, viewers, have stories from your ancestors, I would be glad to read you !
    Here is some of mine :
    My grand-grand-uncles were in the French army during WW1. The eldest was a Fusilier-Marin in the Ronarc'h Brigade, fought in Belgium and died at Dixmude. The "middle" brother was in the line infantry at the battle of the Marne (he lost an eye during the battle) then he was transfered in the First Royal Artillery Regiment, in the north-east. He deserted, get caught by the police, but was pardoned by the President (apparently for having fought bravely in loooots of hellholes). He survived the war but died in a bus accident. The third brother came to age in the last months of the war, was mobilized, became an artillery servant, but caught pneumonia and was sent home, where he died at his mother's house. The fourth son (my direct ancestor) was too young for this war, so he became a sailor instead, but it's another story, because he saw some action in WW2.

      My own family very rarely talk about it too,@@AlexandreMarhic. It's mostly because my ancestor was the youngest, and knew his brothers very little (they had at least 10-12 years more than him, and at that time, you leaved the parent's home early, plus the fact that we live near the sea, and many parents of mine were sailors). Almost all I know is from personnal research, after founding their ID papers and stuff like that, + searching in history books when I know in which regiment they were.

      I am Portuguese, and since Portugal sent soldiers to France in 1916, a cousin of my great grandma fought the Germans there. I don't know very mucho about him (all I know is because of my grandma, who was too young and don't have much contact with him), only that he had to eat rats and other animals to survive and that he was smocked by the Germans, and that left him with secondary effects for the rest of his life.
      An interesting part is that I have a friend with German ancestors and his great great grandfather died during the war, so maybe our ancestors fought each other.

    The battle of Verdun is a symbol of resistance and determination. Sometimes compared to Stalingrad or the Somme, the importance of the battle is not only it was one of the biggest of ww1, it was THE battle for the right to live, the battle of France, their world against our world, their empire against our republic. It was a duel to the death.
    Germany wanted a decisive victory on the West front by totally destroying the french army. Falkenhayn wanted to bleed dry the French army by forcing the french to defend a difficult position. Verdun was chosen for several reasons. The region was rich in ressources and had a good industry.The city was a weakness in the armor, it was easy to attack for the German, and very difficult to defend for the French. There was only one road from France to Verdun, nicknamed the sacred/holy road, and fourteen roads from Germany to Verdun that made a real advantage for Germany. The presence of the Meuse river in french side make a dangerous obstacle against french reinforcement and makes they can not fall back. Other disadvantage for the french, on the three main forts, one was empty and the cannons were removed for preparing the Somme offensive.For the symbolic reason, Verdun was the city where the grandsons of Charlemagne signed a treaty in 843, that treaty made the creation of the occidental France and the oriental one, actual France and germany. Destroying France at this place is destroying where it begun.
    That man explains it well : ruclips.net/video/NsBxDrgDHJc/видео.html
    February 1916, the 21, at 7:15 exactly, comes the first wave. The german begin by a massive bombardment. 80 000 shells will take the french by surprise during the first 24 hours. All the forest totally disapeared and the french positions are destroyed. 60 000 german soldiers attack the french positions but at Caures woods, two battalions of chasseurs à pieds are still able to fight. Chasseurs à pieds were elite troops of the time, they were tough, well trained and experienced, german nicknamed them : Schwarze Teufel (black demons). After a violent hand to hand fight, the chasseurs repelled the first german wave and saved the day, but the price was expensive, the lieutenant colonel Driant who commanded them died in the battle with 1120 chasseurs for 110 survivors.
    The 25, one of the three main forts on the way of Verdun has fallen. The fort of Douaumont was defended by only 60 men veterans and was easily taken by german soldiers. Now the german are at only 5 kilometers of the city.
    On the French side, General de Castelnau reacts and reorganise the defense and ask to Marechal Joffre to send him the General Petain and his regiments. Petain takes the lead and widen the sacred road, organizes a rotation of the reinforcements, and makes offensives in coordination with artillery. Petain realizes the importance of the battle and declares to Joffre : "Ils ne passeront pas " (they shall not pass). In every places, forests, trenches and underground, the battle is titanic and without interruptions, days and nights.
    June 1916, the 1st, comes the heroic resistance of Fort of Vaux. This fort was defended by commandant Eugène Raynal and 600 men. This fort was the last main to defend the city and it was the smallest one, but it was a real nightmare for the german. Although his tower was destroyed, the machine guns were still able to stop the german assaults.
    ruclips.net/video/1Ypf-62Padg/видео.html
    Sadly, the water tank was empty because of bombardments and french soldiers were under siege without any supplies. French and german fought in corridors, in stairs and in all the rooms of the fort. Raynal sent his last pigeon which will be found dead with the message : "We are holding them but we are under a gaz attack. We need a support immediatly." Sadly, the rescue mission will fail. After seven days of intenvive fight without any water, Raynal accepted to surrender. The geman soldiers make a honor guard on his way due to his courage and take the fort.
    July 1916, the 11 the last german offensive on the Souville fort is a terrible failure, Falkenhain had to resign. The german were at 3 kilometers of the city
    October 1916 the 21, the French counter attack. The 24 the fort of Douaumont is retaken by the french, 6000 german are captured.
    November and December, the fort of vaux is taken by the French and most of the positions that were taken by german in february are now under french control.

      No the French also had many problems with it, not necessarily if it was clean, but mainly that it was easily clogged with mud and would jam, since it has an open bolt and exposed rounds in the magazine. Also the sights are terrible, it had godawful rate of fire and accuracy, and kicked like a mule. The French military actually added a pay bonus for Chauchat gunners because so many French disliked the weapon and preferred the trusty Lebel rifle.

When the troops were planning on a retreat my great great grandpa charged and destroyed the machine guns. After he did that the Allie’s attacked and took the position. After the war he got sent to the Buckingham palace and got the Victoria cross. And then he passed away from pneumonia or the yellow fever in 1937. But his cousin which I forgot the name of fought in ww2 as an artillery man in Egypt during the North Africa campaign and he wrote a book which I also forgot the name of. And Robert's dad Harry V gorle fought in the 2nd Boer war and he got the medal that was a bit less good than the Victoria cross.

    7:01 correction : the chauchat light machine gun or "machine rifle wasn't jamming all the time.
    Actualy before the BAR was introduced in US Army the americans wanted a copy of the chauchat adapted for their ammo, but the cartridges was pretty different and not adapted to the chauchat magazine, so it jammed when the weapon was a little dirty to to mud or anything else. The french original was good even if not perfect due to the almost open magazine but the american copy awaiting the BAR was pretty bad due to the caliber differences. The US experience of their copy made people think the original weapon itself was bad and jamming most of time but it's a question of rushed copy by the US.

    My great grandfather served in the Portuguese army (Portugal joined WW1 in 1916) he surrendered to the Germans in most likely 1917 I don’t know his name and we don’t have any pictures of him but there might be one only thing is it’s in Portugal

    *Context:*
    -0:00 (3rd August 1914): Upon the entry of the Third French Republic [1870 - 1940] into the First World War on the 3rd August 1914, the mobilization of 2.9 million men began. War had been anticipated so the year before in 1913 the "Three Year Law" was introduced which was an attempt to increase France's military to the size of the German Empire's [1871 - 1918] which meant all fit males over the age of 18 had to do three years of mandatory military service. The French military was clearly not ready for such a modern war, as their uniforms lacked helmets or any sort of camouflage, even wearing bright red shorts. Luckily France, unlike the Russian Empire [1721 - 1917], was modern enough to hastily train and equip their troops.
    -0:17 (August 1914): While it was originally thought that France would be able to fight Germany on their heavily fortified border where they had a large advantage, just a day after the war's beginning Germany invaded the Kingdom of Belgium [1830 - Now] and blasted through what defensive lines they had. While the Germans assumed Belgium would fall quite easily and just serve as an entry way to get around the French defences, they were met with fierce resistance at the Battle of Liege and while still badly beaten, they halted the German advance for long enough so that British and French troops could flood into the country. That summer was particularly hot and many soldiers were extremely uncomfortable.

    On behalf of the memory of all soldiers of France for this video, and for others countries fighting in ww1 in the other posted or incoming ones, thank you.
    Among the songs used in the video, i would like to highlight "La Strasbourgeoise" (7:42) song about Franco-german war of 1870 wich saw Germany take Alsace and Lorraine regions.
    Why this one? Cause that one genuiely made me shed a tear. Oh sad and true it is.
    For anyone curious, the translation is below, but please listen to it in the same time as it convey the emotion held in the voice.
    Little Daddy, here is half-Lent
    Because you are disguised in soldier. (French tradition holds carnivals at this time)
    Little Daddy, is it for fake ?
    Or is it to scare little children ?
    Or is it to scare little children ?
    No, child of mine, I'm going for the Homeland
    It's a duty every daddy has to do
    Kiss me my little blessed child,
    I'll be back at home soon.
    I'll be back at home soon.
    Tell me Mom, what is this medal ?
    And this letter the postman brought ?
    Tell me Mom, you're crying and swooning;
    Did they kill our little adored Dad ?
    Did they kill our little adored Dad ?
    Yes my child, they killed your father
    Let's mourn together because we're hating them
    What a horrible war, making mother cry
    And killing little blond angel fathers.
    And killing little blond angel fathers.
    The snow is falling into the city,
    There is sitting a child from Strasbourg,
    She stays there despite the cold, the chill wind,
    She stays there despite the cold of the day.
    She stays there despite the cold of the day.
    A man walks by, to the little girl he gives.
    She recognises the german uniform,
    She refuses the alms she's been given
    And tells the ennemy proudly,
    And tells the ennemy proudly,
    "Keep your gold, I'm keeping my strenght
    Prussian soldier, go on your way
    Me, I'm just a child from France
    And to the ennemy i do not extend my hand.
    And to the ennemy i do not extend my hand.
    While praying under this Cathedral,
    My mother died beneath that collapsed porch
    Beaten to death by one of your bullets,
    Beaten to death by one of your cannonballs !
    Beaten to death by one of your cannonballs !
    My dad is dead on your battlefield
    And I haven't even seen the shadow of his casket
    Beaten to death by one of your bullets,
    That is why I'm wearing my mourning dress.
    That is why I'm wearing my mourning dress.
    You've had Alsace and Lorraine,
    You've had millions of foreigners,
    You've had Germania and Bohemia,
    But you'll never have my little heart,
    But my little heart, there, WILL STAY FRENCH !"
