Some people have asked me why I used the whistle sound on this piece. During World War I, the Army had a system of whistles to coordinate movement of the troops in the battlefield. The sound of the "Thunder Whistle" that you can hear in the musical piece, was used by the Platoon and squad leaders, to indicate the soldiers to abandon the trenches and run onto "no man's land" to fight the enemy.
I do no support or approve war in any form. And the best thought about World War I, the real though who describes it perfectly, an also all wars, comes from the Nobel Laureate in Literature, Ernest Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961):
“(World War I) was the most colossal, murderous, mismanaged butchery that has ever taken place on earth. Any writer who said otherwise lied, So the writers either wrote propaganda, shut up, or fought.” Hemingway himself was a witness of such butchery while he was a volunteer ambulance driver in the Italian front in early 1918.
