Green Fields Of France

Published 2023-11-11
A song by Eric Bogle, made stupendously famous by the Furey's.

The protaganist sits at the graveside of a you Tommy, killed in 1916 aged just 19 years old and asks the questions I've asked myself many times over the years. Did you leave anyone behind? Did you suffer? Did you believe them when they told you there'd be no more wars?

This is also Tony Blair's favourite anti-war song. Yes, that Tony Blair.... wrap your head around that.
