Again excellent points bob. What as been missing is the education. Maybe people would respect what we preserve more if they fully understood the why’s, where, and when’s.

We all know about the Great War, but little about it and the realities of death in such conflicts. We know of the sacrifice, but not what it felt like to suffer the shelling, bullets and gas. Not to mention the cold, wet and fear that these man and boys faced in our name, and that is still true for us today 90 years on.
