world war one

I have just come across an image that sent shivers through my very soul.

people died a lot of people and 90% of those people had no other reason other than to serve there country, no hatred for one another just pushing and pushing when they were told to.

i feel this picture shows the heart of these grate brave (men) actually more like boys, these brave brave boys fighting for there country and there lives. 

god bless them all only god knows who got up in to his heart for these I pray for and thank for my life and the life of my children, parents and grandparents.

I accessed these pictures from  http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18059106

Well an image is a realisation/expression of photographer's opinion. Mine and everyone else's opinion is just as valid.

Quote:

On Christmas Day, 1914, in the first year of World War I, German, British, and French soldiers disobeyed their superiors and fraternized with "the enemy" along two-thirds of the Western Front. German troops held Christmas trees up out of the trenches with signs, "Merry Christmas." "You no shoot, we no shoot." Thousands of troops streamed across a no-man's land strewn with rotting corpses. They sang Chrismas carols, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared rations, played football, even roasted some pigs. Soldiers embraced men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if the top brass forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high. A shudder ran through the high command on either side. Here was disaster in the making: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals on both sides declared this spontaneous peacemaking to be treasonous and subject to court martial. By March, 1915 the fraternization movement had been eradicated and the killing machine put back in full operation. By the time of the armistice in 1918, fifteen million would be slaughtered.
