My grandson does know,he’s got both the poppy from Westminster and the ‘Tommy’ each have in them a book telling of the events of the Great War and WW2, we bought them for him
I read about this yesterday and loved the sculpture. Congratulations to David Williams-Ellis who created it.
I think the National Memorial Arboretum should be visited by schools whenever possible to keep the memories alive.
So do mine, they love Military matters and all the tales of those who fought to save us, my eldest Grandson's poster boy when he was little was Harry Patch and he so longed to meet him.
Yet, time and again I read replies like the above that they don't know or aren't being told about it.
Is it just that it's easier to blame someone else?
Without checking the curriculum at the moment I don't but that to me doesn't matter as much as it matters that we the guardians pass on this knowledge and inspire future generations.
mamy: "Is it just that it's easier to blame someone else?" - It's not a question of blaming someone else, history in schools has now been taken over by anti British TROB luvvies that spend their time brainwashing the kids that we are the bad guys.
