A well-known story about the Ghost of a loved one, going down on the battlefield of the First world war. This is the story of corporal will bird of the 42nd battalion, also known as the Royal highland regiment of Canada during the battle of Vimy in April 1917.

He said he fell asleep on the cold, outdoors when he was awakened by two warm hands. When he looked up, he saw his brother Steve, who was killed in France during the fighting two years ago.

The appearance of his brother remained silent, beckoning him to follow him. He followed his dead brother to the ruins of destroyed buildings on the battlefield. After that, Steve disappeared in the eyes.

Shortly thereafter, an enemy shell crashed into the bunker, where he was a few minutes ago, killing everyone inside. Will describe this strange meeting in his book of 1968, "Ghosts warm hands: a memoir of the great war".

Original news

Un récit assez connu du fantôme d'un être cher descendant sur le champ de bataille de la Première Guerre mondiale est l'histoire du caporal Will Bird, du 42e bataillon, également appelé le Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) du Canada, au cours d'une bataille à la crête de Vimy en avril 1917.

Il dit qu'il s'était endormi dans le froid, là-bas, en plein air, quand il avait été réveillé par deux mains chaudes. Quand il a levé les yeux, il aurait vu debout son frère Steve, tué au combat en France deux ans auparavant. L'apparition de son frère est restée silencieuse, faisant signe à Will de le suivre. Il a suivi son frère décédé sur une ruine d'un bâtiment bombardée sur le champ de bataille. Après cela, Steve s’est évaporé sous ses yeux. Peu de temps après, un obus ennemi s'est écrasé dans le bunker où il se trouvait quelques instants auparavant, tuant tout le monde à l'intérieur. Bird décrivit cette étrange rencontre dans son livre de 1968, Ghosts Have Warm Hands: A Memoir of the Great War.
