In the prime of their lives, the majority in their early 20s, they joined freely for a battle in what they believed would bring peace to their families and future generations.
The rest is history!
The cost on both sides to achieve the peace in our time for which these men and so many others fought and died is beyond imagination.
What have we learned about this era?
Remembrance day: Do they know what does it mean one-minute silence?
