The WW1 veterans from all nations went through absolute hell

This man stares into our souls over 100 years later.

I didn’t know I could feel more attached to somebody I’ve never met in my life than I could to anyone in modern movies

[kiekaboo]

What is it that makes you wanna cry watching these images...this music also. Gives me shivers.

These add so much humanity to history. These aren't just stories; they're events, bad and good, that real people have experienced first hand. Beautiful work.

wow.
At the end of the day that was someone's son, father, brother etc....R.I.P Sir.

They may not alive today but the memory of them still alive.

[kabernat]

Pride. Courage. Viewed 100 years later is a testament to this great man.

The moment he takes off the helmet to reveal his full face, it’s a melancholic feeling. We don’t know exactly what he saw, but he would never be the same again. He may have been a young man but war aged him many years.

My great grandfather was a Hungarian POW in Siberia. He made it out alive but he was released on the condition that he’d either stay in Siberia or walk back home. He walked home somehow just in time to see my great grandmother before she passed a very short time after he’d returned. The men of that generation were truly a force to be reckoned with, sheer will and determination

This man saw more pain than most of us could fathom. His eyes tell the story of his life. May peace be with you my century old friend.

[gailbrown]

When you see any soldier wether friend or foe they’re to be respected for laying down their lives. Peace and love to them. RIP ❤

The saddest thing I've ever seen is the POW cemetery at Fort Reno, Oklahoma. The ones who died after the war was over, and never saw their homes again are heartbreaking. Damn all the politicians who get us in to these things!

[juanpolakovic]

He didn't know he would be going through a much worse war only 20 years later...

[jewelleryaddict]

Looks like any of us. He most likely didn't want to fight a war either, rather be home with family and friends. Wars are so horrible. So much unnecessary lost life. We need to all get along. RIP.

Imagine hearing people suffocate from mustard gas, watching people’s limbs be blown off, smelling the stench of rotting corpses, and still this Man is trying to keep his mustache looking stylish and sharp. A different breed of Man back then.

[LionsInBoots]

A Son, A Soldier, A Man, A Fighter. No war could remove the respect this man is due.

[bluearmy]

Dignity and respect even after all he went through.

[dimasremigio]

Without helmet is just a simple father of someone and a son of someone else.
Nothing more.

History matters, seeing these videos really takes you there. Feeling his heavy soul right through my screen is on a whole other level…
