All War is atrocious and horrific. But when a threat of invasion occurs, what should one do? Get out the white flag? Our vicar gave a very good sermon yesterday about the carnage and the tragedy of it all, and more importantly the need for much more effort towards achieving world peace. He felt (and so did I) that Remembrance Day is held for two reasons. One, to ensure the Dead are not forgotten as our lives go on in peace and freedom, and two, to keep the horror of it alive in our minds, ensuring that every effort be made to prevent a repeat of the same. No-one is glorifying War on 11th Nov. On the contrary, its horrors are before us today in many parts of the world. The Day is to strengthen our resolve to work for and maintain Peace. Surely no-one could object to that?
