From 1914 to 1918, the First World War not only changed the course of history, but also changed the fate of countless young people in it. They were once innocent and lush young men who put on uniforms with a passion to defend the country to the death, but they were devastated on the battlefield full of corpses. In the deafening sound of artillery fire, they methodically tested new weapons, but the next time they were hit on flesh and blood. For ordinary soldiers who face death threats every day, living in mud-like trenches makes them degenerate and isolated. However, when facing the camera, they still smile. They are also big boys full of human touch: playing the harmonica together to enjoy the friendship of comrades in the sun; singing through the trenches, like an outing in spring; even if the food is simple, they can be decorated with flowers in the barrel. The soldiers don't care about winning or losing the war, they just hope that everything ends soon

At that time, young people really knew little about war. Many were under 18 or even 16 years old. They lied about their age and wanted to join the army. They went to the brutal battlefield like a meat grinder. High-definition restoration and coloring make history more vivid, looking at the faces facing the camera one by one, as if it happened yesterday.

The zeal of patriotism and the self-confidence of the British rule of the world have turned into clouds in the trenches of Flanders. Compared with World War II, the shock of World War I to society and the country was more profound. Young soldiers went from passionate to numb and then again. To the hesitation after retiring, the complete disappearance of the Victorian ethos of romanticizing war and archaic weathering has been announced.

Soldier: You don't look, you see. You don't hear, you listen. You taste the top of your mouth. Your nose is filled with fumes and death. But the veneer of civilization has dropped away.
