Many years ago, I was a high school teacher in a very small town. We were going over World War 1. I played this song on the final day of the unit. Normally the class was loud and chatty - just like normal sophomores. I remember that I had a teacher's aide, a very nice woman in her 30's who was very interested in this era and my approach to teaching this. At the end of the song, you could have heard a pin drop in the class. Dead quiet. The aide had tears streaming down her face. I will never forget this. War is a terrible thing in the human condition. This song brings that to light. Thank you.

Firstly, don’t take this as a rebuttal of how you and everyone (mostly) view the song. I come from a Quaker family and my grandfather was a conscientious objector on an ambulance train during WW1. His only regret? Not being a combatant in the war…. As Quakers we absorb the blame for not volunteering (and ignore) doesn’t matter it’s a conscious decision. The regret my grandfather had is different and challenging to reconcile with today’s narrative. Nonetheless, I still feel in a conscious, and probably subconscious way, that his view albeit without context has merit. In biblical terms turn the other other cheek until your fellow humans suffer disproportionately as a result.

Respect to you from Britain. My uncle was Kia 17th April 1943. (RAF Volunteer Reserve Lancaster W4317 of 61 Sqn)He was 22. My grandad was a preacher and someone told him he’d have trouble preaching of the love of God. Grandad replied, ‘“it wasn’t the love of God that killed my son, it was the folly of men” Again respect to you and all veterans.
