The amount of effort and detail that goes into his videos is phenomenal

I am not even Canadian and this makes me feel Patriotic for Canada Magnificent work as always

I am beyond words on the quality of your work here. You have come so far. As, of course, did they. My grandfather was sorely wounded the month before at Neuve Chapelle but served until the end of the Great War. Only to serve for a third time in WW2 in the Home Guard. Bravo to you and bravissimo to those brave Canadians in who served in all three of his wars.

My great grandfather was the company sergeant major for the 10th battalion. He was one of the 193 survivors Appreciate your effort in this video 🙌

One whole hour! Well worth waiting for. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇨🇦

A great video. Very moving and inspirational. My oldest son recently moved to Canada and the next time we speak I will tell him the tale of these brave Canadians. Thank you for all your efforts.

Watching this on Armistice Day , it is fitting we remember the Canadian volunteers who died in both wars . As ever Rob your research and presentation is impeccable . Thank you .

The entire video is so damn good but from 34:50 on I was on the edge of my seat. The tension, the mood it all works so well and you do an amazing job building the story and emotion of the battle. The frantic hip shooting, bayonet fighting and narration all paints such a vivid picture for the viewer. I appreciate all the effort and detail to represent history correctly that goes into every video. One of a kind channel my friend.

As a Scotsman the land & folk of Canada are an inspiration to me .God speed Canada.

From 34 minutes onward, this was bloody terrifying. I've never seen so gripping a dramatization of combat in WWI. Although watching a video probably doesn't even get within 10% of what those men really felt, when I saw you pulling off your kit and greatcoat, I felt myself starting to sweat and feel a lump in my gut. The idea of leaving behind your earthly possessions, not knowing if you would ever come back to claim them, really made palpable the feeling of dread and stress some of those brave Canadians must have felt in the moments leading up to "going over the top"---and then the sheer chaos and terror of the close-combat in the darkness of the wood. All while shellfire and screams of the dying surround you. And with a rifle that has a 50/50 chance of working at best! You've done a better job than a lot of Hollywood movies of conveying at least an inkling of what it would have been like to be in action during the First World War.

I've heard of Second Ypres, never knew what exactly happen since WW1 history is so sparse in the US that trying to find any book that goes into battles not named the Somme or Verdun is next to impossible to find.

ONE MAN! Alone.... fighting in the woods

The first time a "colonial" force defeated a continental force on European soil. I was at sea and missed the posting of this video, and I am thoroughly impressed with its quality, as we've all come to expect from BritishMuzzleLoaders. Well done, and thank you for documenting the exploits of our forefathers and the beginning of a series of events that would truly give birth to our nation. BZ to Rob and all others involved in the production.

BML is top notch as always (:

I was wondering when we’d get another episode about the Ross Rifle from BML, C&Rsenal, or Gun Jesus. Well done Sir🫡🇨🇦

Rob you have created a wonderful and fitting tribute to your brave countrymen who fought and died not just at Kitcheners Wood but throughout both world wars. I hope you are proud of your work and your splendid achievement. God bless you. 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦

Another first class documentary from Rob of BML as he looks at Canada's first large scale battle in WWI.

Thanks very much Rob. That was a most engaging and interesting history lesson.

Absolutely fantastic work Rob! Seriously, this is better than similar content made with bigger budgets and more people. You deserve a Mentions in Dispatches if not a proper gong for this one!

"After the war (World War I), Marshal Ferdinand Foch, the Allied Supreme Commander, remarked that the "greatest act of the war" had been the assault on Kitcheners' Wood by the (CANADIAN) 10th and 16th Battalions." Outstanding, Sir! Kudos

Thank you for this wonderful reenactment and retelling of the history of 2nd Ypres and Kitcheners Wood. I have heard of Kitcheners Wood other places but had never heard its story. Brave lads one and all to march forward in the aftermath of a gas attack. I have nothing but respect and awe for the fortitude, martial prowess and professionalism of my Canadian neighbors.

Wow! Just Wow! Very professional production.

My grandfather’s oldest brother was killed November 1914 serving with the coldstream guards.

Had the privilege to cross train with an Canadian mechanized armor unit when I was with 3rd light armored reconnaissance battalion. Great group of guys and gals and their CO was a really cool cat.

Rob, your passion for your hobby enriches us all. Thank you for bringing history alive to us.

We all regard it as a true boon to receive another of your excellent productions. Thank you again, sir, for your splendid efforts.

Hello from Toronto. So happy to see this type of content, here in the city Canadian culture and history are all but gone. The scenes of you running around and bayonetting and firing in the woods looks like a lot of fun to film! Ha ha Thank you!

Great work on this, and thanks for a moving tribute to Canada’s men who suffered and fought in the Great War.

41:05 Love the glory shot!!

Absolutely splendid!

"The amount of effort and detail that goes into his videos is phenomenal" Indeed!

Thank you Rob. A moving, sobering, heartfelt and fantastically researched video.

Packed full of information.... a sorrowful gas incident, bravery in abundance, names and locations to be remembered.....and the infamous Ross. Great kit, the ammo pouches are my favorite.

Another Masterpiece. Fantastic Video

Hello Rob. I realise that I am not saying anything original here but that was simply brilliant. The quality of your programmes is now up there with anything that I see on TV here in the UK in the history genre. I think that most Britons hold the people of Canada in great affection and your wonderful videos can only help to reinforce those dearly bought bonds. Lest we forget indeed. Bravo!

Michael is a heck of a guy, glad to hear he helped out. As always, this video was an excellent production. Thank you Rob!

This is the best account of this battle I have heard. Thank you.

As always, much impressed with your video, the quality and the information you provide. Thanks so much.

Another well researched, brilliantly delivered video. Keep up the great work. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

Your videos are fantastic, the research, the effort and your story telling all work together.

Well done! This is your best yet. Simply marvelous!

Love your work, so glad that there are still people out there documenting the firearms, equipment, and tactics of the day, hope your holidays were pleasant.

I am very glad you included the 15th battalion CEF in the video. I served in the 48th Highlanders of Canada that carry their battle honours. To all the units that carry 2nd YPRES as a Battle Honour we will remember them!

Another brilliant video, thank you Rob!

Fantastic work as always. I really look forward to these!

Fantastic video, I'm looking forward to watching your new videos as they come out and rewatching some of your old videos again

Absolutely outstanding! Thank you so much!!

Super interesting video, and what an incredible story. Thank you!

Excellent work and production. An important reminder and lesson very well explained and enacted. Thank you.

Oh this is fantastic - well done!

What a fantastic effort. Thank you again for such a great presentation.

Wow! What an absolutely fantastic video. Thank you so much for making this.

That was simply brilliant. The research, the planning, the execution all completely top notch.

Incredible! What a moving and informative piece.

Very well done. Thanks so much.

Fantastic work Rob!

This videos was so well done. Another battle series in such detail. I also would like to give cudos to the camera work and lighting, from the night shots to the drone work along with the split shots showing all the different robs lined up in various positions. Keep up the awesome content.

An outstanding video. I hope you will be able to bring us more videos like this on other important battles fought by the Canadian Corps during the First World War. Keep up the great work!

Professional standard of presentation and production. Thank you so much Rob for bringing this story to life.

Look forward to each and everyone of these

Brilliant, Thank you.

Excellent video. Thank you for your efforts.

Everything about this video is amazing. Well done! A wonderful tribute.

Great presentation as usual!

I applaud you Sir! What an amazing video! Even bringing up emotions, well done.

Very well made video, thank you for sharing the story

Tremendous research and content, thank you 🙏

An outstanding video, Rob!

Excellent and very informative video Rob, astounded at the amount of detail on show.

I live in the village where the battle of kitcheners woods took place (Saint Julien). The former headmaster of my primary school always invited Canadians to remember and talk about what happened. I collect ww1 militaria and metal detect on the place itself. I like how you made an effort to talk about this battle.

Bravo, bravo... Rob, you've come a long way on your KZfaq journey, but you have absolutely outdone yourself here. Fantastic effort and what a story! It ranks up there with the 51st Highland Division and in particular the 1/6th Gordons... love it and well done.

I"ve always loved your videos!

Fantastic job on this video Rob. Thank you for bringing this story to us with just the right amount of detail mixed with live action.

Best part of my evening , thank you sir.

Thank you. Top quality

What a fantastic video, excellent job!

Exceptional video and so well researched. Thank you!

very well done, and thank you for the Education.

Thanks Rob, you did an incredible job on this. The information and presentation was once again top notch. Coincidentally, my grandfather fought in the war and April 22 1915 is the day he signed his enlistment papers.

Outstanding talk. Hope there are more to come.

Great stuff Rob. Brilliant work.

Thanks for posting another amazing video 😊

Great stuff Rob. Advancing your technical skills & story telling

All of my family were highlanders (of the British Army). My Great Grand Uncle Finlay Mackay and cousin Donald Mackay attacked the farms just in front of Kitcheners Wood on the 25 April 1915, in the 2nd Battalion Seaforth Highlanders. Both were killed and are buried side by side. Cudich n Righ, Cabar Feidh Gu Brath.

great video. thank you

As usual, very well presented.

Another magnificent episode; I'm just blown away by the attention to detail, quality of production, and engaging presentation. It's a toss up between this, and the episode on Tel El Kebir for my favourite video of the channel. Bloody good work, mate.

What an amazing presentation. Lest We Forget

Amazing video, clear storytelling, and all made interesting.

BZ. Excellent and moving tribute.

You are now my favourite KZfaq personality. Thank you for what you do. Please, don't stop!

Brave Men Thankyou for sharing this with us

Epic, brilliant video thank you !

Well done, Rob! Well done.

Outstanding video, thank you.

Another great video!

I love your videos! I am actually at Ypres today with a tour, and spent the morning at St Julien.

Just watching this on the evening of November 5th in the UK,, so getting loads of extra battlefield sound effects from the fireworks outside adding to the ambiance💣 lol ! An excellent and poignant re-telling of this very important battle Rob 👏 👍

Great video, Sir.

Amazing video sir! Your research and attention to detail is truly wonderful.
