I think I read that the dominion of Newfoundland, then separate from Canada, lost a greater proportion of it's young men than any other of the allied powers in WW1.<br /> https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=%23&ved=2ahUKEwj7uuuPg83eAhXsLsAKHfYkCnsQ8TUwAXoECAsQGw&usg=AOvVaw0VTJzWxrN8ZFOD4xbU2novObligatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721362077146622584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-57059672951511858482018-11-11T11:45:17.643-06:002018-11-11T11:45:17.643-06:00"Sgt. MacKenzie" is another haunting son..."Sgt. MacKenzie" is another haunting song about WWI. Joseph Kilna Mackenzie wrote it about his grandfather. I highly recommend going to the wiki page and reading the background.<br /><br />And you've heard it before, I am sure of it. "We were Soldiers" the movie about the first helicopter assault in the Vietnam War led by Hal Moore, used it. That dark, feral, haunting dirge sung in a heavy Scottish accent? That was "Sgt. MacKenzie." Not a song to listen to when you are down.<br /><br />Thank you, veterans, who served the forces of Light against all the darkness in the world. That would include you, Sir Host, and LawDog, too, who fought evil and socialism, keeping it from your adopted shores before you were adopted. There isn't a 'naturalized citizen who stood against the darkness day' but I feel often you all, in some way, protected the USA as much fighting your dark lost forgotten battles as the wars the US actively participated in.<br />Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-28705773330763244512018-11-11T11:28:54.555-06:002018-11-11T11:28:54.555-06:00Good song.
