Episode 115 Irish Songs & "Willie McBride" & The Rest of the Story.
“Willie McBride”is both a historical and an anti-war song. At the French gravesite of a young Irishman, Willie McBride, killed in World War 1 the narrator reflects on that horrible war. It was one of the worst meat grinder type wars. Hand-to-hand combat, trench warfare, large forward charges against terrible odds on both sides resulted in a huge loss of young men.
