Charlie Gremba Charlie Gremba (Feb 11 2021 5:13AM) : I like how these guys also just got in and got it done. like they had a job to do so they did it

Feb 12

Linda Goldsworthy Linda Goldsworthy (Feb 12 2021 1:03AM) : Today more

Charlie, what do you think the long term impact of “getting it done” was on these men?

Feb 11

morgan morgan louis morgan morgan louis (Feb 11 2021 1:38PM) : it's weird to think that someone my age would go to war. And that some wouldn't mind killing others but instead be excited too kill.

Feb 11

morgan morgan louis morgan morgan louis (Feb 11 2021 1:48PM) : When one man said that he was not scared to die but was more terrified to lose an arm or a leg, that made me think I would rather have it the other way around. I would not want to die in the war.

Feb 12

Mr. Tyler Kolasa Mr. Tyler Kolasa (Feb 12 2021 2:52AM) : Why do you think he felt that way? What circumstances could have led to this thought process?

Feb 11

Jason Kabacinski Jason Kabacinski (Feb 11 2021 1:50PM) : A lot of the people who joined are young adults under the age of 20.

Feb 11

Jason Kabacinski Jason Kabacinski (Feb 11 2021 1:54PM) : During the war, they would make tea with slivers of wood for the fire and use a metal pot of some sort and drink it.

Feb 12

Linda Goldsworthy Linda Goldsworthy (Feb 12 2021 1:04AM) : Cartoon more

It’s funny you say this because the US puts together a propaganda cartoon with Donald Duck that has him making coffee from one bean over and over again AND sawing off a piece of bread made from wood.

Feb 12

allie dornfeld allie dornfeld (Feb 12 2021 3:57AM) : I find it interesting how they looked at the war and thought of it as going and killing Germans, I always thought soldiers going to war saw it as an opportunity to help their country.

Feb 12

allie dornfeld allie dornfeld (Feb 12 2021 3:58AM) : The conditions here seemed very cold, muddy, and uncleanly. Their apparel doesn't look like it is for that weather.

Feb 12

Mr. Tyler Kolasa Mr. Tyler Kolasa (Feb 12 2021 9:39PM) : Great observation! Often times winter weather gear was not worn during the winter, this is because of lice that would infest themselves in the wool, and rats would be attracted to the warmth as well!

Feb 12

allie dornfeld allie dornfeld (Feb 12 2021 4:00AM) : The soldiers all look happy and are smiling, where was their fear?

Feb 14

Kyle Wiese Kyle Wiese (Feb 14 2021 2:12AM) : it weird to me how the men would go run into the open fields out of their cover

Feb 14

Abigale Johnson Abigale Johnson (Feb 14 2021 6:05AM) : I think the title is supposed to symbolize the young angsty teen spirit they had when going into war. Their personalities were young and so was their will, and I think that was what the title was supposed to show.

Feb 14

Abigale Johnson Abigale Johnson (Feb 14 2021 6:08AM) : These boys wanted to go to war. I wonder now what they think about war. They saw a lot of mentally scarring things, I'm wondering what their views are now.

Feb 14

Abigale Johnson Abigale Johnson (Feb 14 2021 6:10AM) : The terrain and "war area" looks very muddy and like a place where most diseases and sicknesses would breed and latch onto the soldiers and spread. I feel like that rough terrain is the origin of those germs and viruses.

Feb 15

Trayton Brzycki Trayton Brzycki (Feb 15 2021 12:20PM) : I thought it was interesting that they let people under 19 years old join the war.

Feb 15

Trayton Brzycki Trayton Brzycki (Feb 15 2021 12:27PM) : I thought that some of the soldiers thinking of the war more as a games was interesting as well.

Feb 16

Dr. Cooper Radke Dr. Cooper Radke (Feb 16 2021 9:05AM) : I think that when they saw it as a way to do their job it took a very bad mental toll on their health as a person.

Mr. Tyler Kolasa Mr. Tyler Kolasa (Feb 09 2021 3:20AM) : This is a wonderful film called They Shall Not Grow Old. This film is comprised entirely of primary source film, images, and interviews. While it may only reflect British views, it can be easily translated to other country's views on the war.

Jeremy Legrey Jeremy Legrey (Feb 11 2021 5:47AM) : Its crazy that the recruiters didn't check the kids actual ages and just let them in.

Feb 12

Mr. Tyler Kolasa Mr. Tyler Kolasa (Feb 12 2021 1:30AM) : Would this fly today? Why do you think young men were so excited or willing to go to war?

Feb 16

Dr. Cooper Radke Dr. Cooper Radke (Feb 16 2021 9:07AM) : I think it was because of the whole Nationalism role back then and that they just saw it as a way to help their country.

Linda Goldsworthy Linda Goldsworthy (Feb 09 2021 11:44PM) : WoW...I can't believe they marched 60 miles in one day. I wonder how....

Feb 11

Brendan L. Brendan L. (Feb 11 2021 10:12AM) : I am surprised that some of the boys who went to war had no regrets about joining to go kill other people.

Student Shi Qi Tang Student Shi Qi Tang (Feb 11 2021 5:00AM) : I can't imagine that someone my age was participating in the war.

Wyndi Saari Wyndi Saari (Feb 17 2021 12:08AM) : I actually didn't know that they allowed kids our age to join the war. They were so desperate for soldiers that they had to use children and that's really sad.

Feb 11

Vianna Joslin Vianna Joslin (Feb 11 2021 3:46AM) : It's crazy that children our age were basically trying to go to war...

Feb 11

Mr. Tyler Kolasa Mr. Tyler Kolasa (Feb 11 2021 4:52AM) : Would you fight? more

They were excited to as well! How excited would you be to go to war at the age you are at right now?

Jason Kabacinski Jason Kabacinski (Feb 11 2021 1:47PM) : A lot of the people who joined were young adults under 20

Student Shi Qi Tang Student Shi Qi Tang (Feb 11 2021 5:05AM) : This photo makes me feel sad, the war is cruel.

Feb 12

Mr. Tyler Kolasa Mr. Tyler Kolasa (Feb 12 2021 2:54AM) : Unfortunately this was a common sight during the conflict. This is why the war was called "The War To End All Wars".

Feb 11

Brendan L. Brendan L. (Feb 11 2021 10:18AM) : It's interesting that boys my age wanted to join and fight in world war 1, and it’s surprising that the recruiters accepted the boys’ ages even though they knew they were too younge.

Feb 12

Mr. Tyler Kolasa Mr. Tyler Kolasa (Feb 12 2021 2:54AM) : Why do you think the recruiters often looked the other way when it came to the boy's age?

Tate Werner Tate Werner (Feb 12 2021 8:43AM) : This part really jumped out to me because I was so shocked to see dead body's, it really creeped me out honestly

Feb 11

Charlie Gremba Charlie Gremba (Feb 11 2021 5:24AM) : It's difficult to honestly imagine how anyone survived coming back from this war. It's so different from what society would have been

Charlie Gremba Charlie Gremba (Feb 11 2021 5:26AM) : delicious gas water

Feb 12

Mr. Tyler Kolasa Mr. Tyler Kolasa (Feb 12 2021 2:55AM) : This is how many soldiers either died or got ill. The water would be filled with mud, dead animals/people, and toxic gas or materials.

Feb 11

Jeremy Legrey Jeremy Legrey (Feb 11 2021 5:50AM) : Its scary that at any moment you could be hit with a shell and you wouldn't even know its coming

Feb 12

Mr. Tyler Kolasa Mr. Tyler Kolasa (Feb 12 2021 2:56AM) : It is tough to even imagine, but in that situation, it was life or death any second.

Feb 17

Wyndi Saari Wyndi Saari (Feb 17 2021 2:53AM) : These pictures really show what the battle field was like, it was graphic and horrifying to see your comrades drop to the floor so fast. Its a brave thing these soldiers did, to fight like that on the front lines.

Feb 11

Mr. Tyler Kolasa Mr. Tyler Kolasa (Feb 11 2021 4:52AM) : What is your opinion? more
