An interesting set and narrative, Nezih,

I find V1 a particularly shocking image.

We are friends, then we kill each other, then we are friends again until the next time when we kill each other and become friends again and so it goes on again and again. Most people want to live in peace and harmony, if we could just abolish religion and politics maybe the world would be a happier place.

Those kids look so young. Sad

For bullets to hit other bullets in flight the air must have been thick with them, unimaginable.

It was a horrible, futile episode. And one of the many lessons that the world has shrugged off and forgotten.

if war is the answer, then we're asking the wrong question...

We remember, we commemorate and we honour the brave.
It's a pity we never learn.

A very moving contribution to this anniversary, Nezih. A more pointless episode is difficult to find, in the Great War or elsewhere.
I suppose we will never learn, seeking instead always to show our perceived 'superiority' over the 'other side'. Universal folly.

The Badge; Lancashire PWV would I'm sure have stood for Prince of Wales Volunteers, a part-time regiment. Yes those boys look so young. Lets hope we never have to send our children to war again.

No lessons ever learned - all we can do is remember with sadness in our hearts.

A desperate reminder of the futility of war.
Mothers and grandmothers looking at those boys would
tear our hearts out if ours had to go to war.

A very moving tribute Nezih, my Grandfathers brother was there on one of the British battleships as a stoker.

We don't remember long enough. It all fades in time so it happens again. Oh, to have the right answer.

And as we remember the futility of our past wars, boys just as young are being pressed into 'service' in some parts of the world.

Leo's right. We keep asking the wrong questions.

We never learn Nezih. My grandfather was there and fortunately survived.

War is futile.
It only benefits politicians and arms manufacturers.

i'm amazed at the bullets meeting in the air and that this was common. Talk about a wall of lead but I understand that that was the tactic of the machine gun fire.

Such a sad photograph of those children marching to war, a dreadful time.

War is futile, nothing is ever gained only lost.

Take care dear friend and thank you for this reminder.
