Ann an sreath ùr, Cuimhneachan, cluinnear taghadh den bheartas òrain agus bhà rdachd Ghà idhlig a chaidh a dhèanamh mun Chiad Chogadh. Bidh Art MacCarmaig, Linda NicLeòid, Murchadh Dòmhnallach agus Raibeart MacDhonnchaidh a' seinn taghadh de na h-òrain sin agus cluinnidh sinn cuideachd mu na sgeulachdan air cùlaibh cuid de na dà in. Eadar iomraidhean air na blà ir agus cunntasan pearsanta air a' chall mhòr a thainig nan luib, is iomadh òran a chaidh a dhèanamh mun chogadh fhuilteach seo.
'S e an call a bha an luib a' Chogaidh Mhòir an dà chuid aig muir agus air tìr cuspair an treasamh phrògraim agus chì sinn mar a laimhsich na bà ird an call beatha uabhasach a thainig an cois a' chogaidh. Tha na h-òrain a' tarruing air an seo bho dhiofar sheallaidhean: mà thair a' caoidh a mic, banntrach a' caoidh a cèile agus iomradh bho shaighdeir mun sgrios air raon a' bhlà ir.
Series featuring a selection from the wealth of Gaelic song and poetry written about the First World War. The series feature specially recorded performances by four of Scotland's finest Gaelic singers - Art Cormack, Linda MacLeod, Murdo MacDonald and Robert Robertson - as well as readings from both songs and poems. Vivid descriptions from the battlefield, heartfelt expressions of personal loss and political opinion are reflected in the series.
The third episode looks at how the poets handled the great loss of life during the war, both at sea and in the trenches. The songs reflect a range of perspectives: the mother mourning her son, the widow's grief over the loss of her husband and a soldier's first-hand account of the bloodshed on the battlefield.
