My dear Friends,
19th WI, Christmas Festivities
100 years ago and the Great War ended at 11 hour of the 11 day of the 11
th
th
th
month. We are often shown much on our screens and elsewhere of some of the
horror of that conflict and yet realistically we cannot really begin to understand

what all those soldiers and sailors – and yes member of the Flying Corps which
became the RAF in 1918 – went through. This was to have been ‘The war to end all
wars’.
There will be very few people alive who really have any memories of that terrible
conflict as one would have to be at least 105. So what is it that we are called
upon to ‘remember’? Perhaps some would say we remember the events of the
Second World War but here I am, well into my ‘pension years’ with no memories
even of rationing, having been born in 1949, so even those who have memories of
that conflict will become fewer each year.
