The album is a tribute to the brave soldiers who fought and died in the war, as well as to the civilians who suffered through the conflict. The songs are sung in a variety of styles, from mournful ballads to rousing anthems, and are accompanied by traditional instruments such as the accordion, guitar, and fiddle.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "In Flanders Fields", a haunting poem by Canadian soldier John McCrae that has become a symbol of the war. The song is sung in both English and Flemish, and the emotion in the singers' voices is palpable.
