Lest We Forget

It is now 90 years since the guns fell silent on the Western Front and World War 1 came to an end.

The are now only a handful of WW1 veterans. Soon they will all be gone and WW1 will just be another chapter in the sordid history of mankind.

We must never forget the sacrifices of a whole generation of people, nor the mistakes that led to the death of nearly 19 million people.

We must also never forget the mistakes that followed the end of the war, the mistakes that would eventually lead to World War 2 and most of the wars that have followed: the peace treaties.
