who brainwashed you?
Don't you see your country filled by foreigner?
Cost of living is going up because more people are competing for finite resources.
The fact that your hamburger is $1 cheaper because there's some gook in the kitchen hardly offsets the fact that your house is now literally 1 million dollars
In america, it will be mexican or some somalicoon
In UK, it will be Sand nigger or African

Thomas Axford
The First Aussie to recieve the Victoria Cross in WW1.
On 4 July 1918 during the attack at Vaire and Hamel Woods, France, when the advance of the adjoining platoon was being delayed in uncut wire and machine-gun fire, and his company commander had become a casualty, Lance-Corporal Axford charged and threw bombs amongst the enemy gun crews. He then jumped into the trench, and charging with his bayonet, killed 10 of the enemy and took six prisoners. He threw the machine-guns over the parapet and the delayed platoon was able to advance. He then rejoined his own platoon and fought with it during the remainder of the operations.
Passed away at the age of 89.
I wasn't.
Last one lads - reminder to wear your poppy or you're a filthy commie
You "wasn't" what? Aware that there are more Chinese people in Australia than in both Koreas combined?
The Korean peninsula was part of the Japanese Empire during the time of the world wars, and since Japan participated in both of the world wars, technically they were involved in the war.
Minding.

"This story is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure for those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war."
-Erich Maria Remarque, on All Quiet On The Western Front
Ah man, I'm sorry, I had no idea you were autistic.

Dude the thread is just about ww1, can't you just respect that and leave it be?

Australian Light Horse who fought on the Ottoman front
Jack Cornwell
On 31 May 1916, Chester was scouting ahead of the 3rd Battlecruiser Squadron at the Battle of Jutland when the ship turned to investigate gunfire in the distance. At 17:30 hours, the Chester soon came under intense fire from four Kaiserliche Marine cruisers each her own size which had suddenly emerged from the haze and increasing funnel smoke of the battlefield. The shielded 5.5-inch gun mounting where Cornwell was serving as a sight-setter was affected by at least four nearby hits. The Chester's gun mountings were open-backed shields and did not reach down to the deck. Splinters were thus able to pass under them or enter the open back when shells exploded nearby or behind. All the gun's crew were killed or mortally injured except Cornwell, who, although severely wounded, managed to stand up again and remain at his post for more than 15 minutes, until Chester retired from the action with only one main gun still working. Chester had received a total of 18 hits, but partial hull armour meant that the interior of the ship suffered little serious damage and the ship itself was never in peril. Nevertheless, the situation on deck was dire. Many of the gun crews had lost lower limbs due to splinters passing under the gun shields. British ships report passing the Chester to cheers from limbless wounded gun crew laid out on her deck and smoking cigarettes, only to hear that the same crewmen had died a few hours later from blood loss and shock.
After the action, ship medics arrived on deck to find Cornwell the sole survivor at his gun, shards of steel penetrating his chest, looking at the gun sights and still waiting for orders. Being incapable of further action, Chester was ordered to the port of Immingham. There Cornwell was transferred to Grimsby General Hospital, although he was clearly dying. He died on the morning of 2 June 1916 before his mother could arrive at the hospital.
This is a famous VC story because Jack Cornwell was only 16 years old.

Canadians at Vimy ridge. Some would call this their birth as a nation.
"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying on the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours... You, the mothers, who sent your sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom, and are in peace.After having lost their lives on this land,they have become our sons as well."
-Atatürk, 1934, inscribed at the Gallipoli War Memorial
Fuuuuck
He was a brigadier general at the age of 25.
Holy fucking shit the feels
his brother also won a VC, apologies for the watermarks

Lots of respect for him.

Austrian soldier fighting in the Alps. Interesting reminder that it wasn't all trenches.
we shouldn't celebrate these soldiers
They willingly took part in a senseless, fratricidal war that wiped out nearly a generation of young European men.
That's fucking chilling.
309 kills with a sniper rifle.
One of my great grandfathers served from 1914-1918 on the Western Front. He must have seen some shitty stuff.
forgot a pic
oldfag here.
my grandfather was struck in the helmet by a german bullet. i still have his helmet.
>This Poem
Unironicaly brought a tear to my eye.
They also were the only people who actually decided to fight for their country to prevent something they thought was going to damage their own countries
I believe you can't say the same
Talk for yourself, we know why ours did die. They did not die in vain.
I listened to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast "Blueprint for Armageddon"
Very good. If you have interest in the Great War then you must listen to it.

>The fact that your hamburger is $1 cheaper because there's some gook in the kitchen hardly offsets the fact that your house is now literally 1 million dollars
Brilliantly put.
There was no internet those days you hopeless faggot.
Read "All quiet on the Western Front" if you want a glimpse into how much they hated the people who lied to them.
It was the most disastrous event in European history. I'd rather forget it.
One of my great grandfathers during WW1. Wanna hear his story?
Christmas Truce, brings a tear to my eye knowing that despite the conflict against each other they said 'fuck it all' and decided to be friends in the middle of a war

Wish there was original sound for this:
>"When you go home, tell them of us and say, for their tomorrow we gave our today"
You know, If I was with a man who had said that too me before he died in the war, I certainly wouldn't have told him he was wrong. After all, if you are being sent to die in a senseless and stupid war, at least you should be allowed your rationalizations.
HOWEVER, this is just bullshit. The world, the Axis and the Allies, would have all been better off if no war had ever occurred, and no matter who won, no one's "tomorrow" was threatened.
What a waste. That's my "rememberance"
the US army, the only army to go home before christmas.
Entente and Central Powers, you mean.
They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the Sun, and in the morning
We will remember them

That's kind of the entire point of the commemoration.
