This series of Cuimhneachan presents another selection of Gaelic songs and poetry about the First World War. The songs will be sung by Jenna Cumming, James Graham, Murdigan MacDonald and Ewen Henderson, with musical support from accomplished artists Ingrid Henderson, Hamish Napier and Anna Massie. The first episode looks at the songs composed about the Highland and Island lads or 'heroes' who fought in the war. Included in this episode is The Gaels around the British Flag by John MacLennan, who was born in Inverasdale, Wester Ross, but spent most of his life near Brisbane, Australia. From there he composed The Gaels around the British Flag, urging Gaels from all parts of the Highlands to rise up against the German forces. In The Fine Lads have Gone, Donald Macdonald from Corunna, North Uist, gives a vivid description of the ferocity of battle.

In Gaelic with English subtitles.
