2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the start of one of Britain's bloodiest Wars - The Great War. In the next series of posts I will be looking out how World War 1 changes the lives of everyone past and present to create the world we live in today.
More and more children are growing up not knowing about the courage and bravery of the people of Great Britain one hundred years ago. Many schools have barely touched on this live changing period and as adults many do not understand the sacrifice made. A few years ago at an air show, I was listening to a talk given about World War 1. The speaker asked the audience when he said World war 1 what sprung to mind. The answer... of poppies and trenches. Nothing else.
It has only been since the release of the war horse film that people have really started to find an interest in what happened. Why does it have to be one hundred years after the event for there to be programmes exploring what really happened and what life was like. Why is it that now all schools are teaching again about World War 1. Now that the last remaining heroes have re-joined their comrades the subject is being explored again...
So join me as I explore World War 1 - Life AT War
