As the years pass, we become separated, by time, from the horrors, hardship and tumult of the First and Second World Wars and some of the wars and conflicts that came later.

But the passage of time doesn’t mean that we can forget what happened 75 years ago and 100 years ago. There are reminders all around us – from the history books we read in school and that we would do well to re-read now and again, to cenotaphs and memorials, to the poppies we wear each autumn.

On Remembrance Day, any of us can find reasons to remember, and we should.
