Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

One hundreds years on from the start of the "war to end all wars".

Are you attending any of the ceremonies tomorrow and across the week?

Not specifically. I spent last remembrance day at the Menin Gate, the scale of WW1 is horrendous.

I'm going to try and get to the Imperial War Museum and experience the trenches they have built.

The IWM is good, but to visit the Somme or Ypres is profoundly moving.

Visit the holocaust exhibition at the IWM but don't expect to sleep well afterwards.

I don't expect to. War horrifies me and I don't wish to glorify it at all but remembering what happened, finding out why and the effects it has on us now is too important.

I don't think we learn from past conflicts, other than how to fight the next one better.

The act of remembrance for me instills a little faith that we have not yet reached the point where we consider the loss of life as worthless.

Yes I will be. I feel its my duty to not forget those who fought and those that lost loved ones. Just watched a documentary called Brothers in Arms, all about the Pals Regiments. Truly humbling.
