【明報專訊】11th November marked the centenary of the Armistice, the end of the First World War. All over Britain there were remembrance events and parades, in every city, town and village. To Britain the war was the loss of a generation — 886,345 UK troops were killed; sons, husbands, fathers. WW1 is also remembered for its futility; the blood of thousands of men were spilt in order to capture an insignificant amount of territory which would soon be re-captured by the enemy.
