The Green Fields Of France
Twenty million people died in World War I. Britain's Cynthia Asquith, numb at the loss of an entire generation of young men, wrote in 1918 that "one will at last fully recognize that the dead are not only dead for the duration of the war". Half a century later, Eric Bogle visited a British battalion cemetery in France. When he wrote this song shortly after, he joined the ranks of those like Asquith who have resolved to keep the memory of the dead alive.
Willie McBride was probably Irish. Despite the 1916 Easter Rebellion and the resurgence of Irish nationalism that it later produced, 200,000 Irishmen volunteered to fight with the British during World War I. 60.000 never came home.
