Remembrance
and
responsibility
THE tranquillity
of the Great War
battlefields can be
deceiving for first-
time visitors.
On the surface,
the ground has long
healed. Look beneath, however, and
you’ll find the grim evidence of fighting.
In the same way shrapnel aggravates
an old injury, it is as if the wounds
inflicted on Mother Nature are her way
of ensuring we never forget.
And as we mark 100 years since the
events of 1918 we should consider her
invitation to reflect, and think about the
human cost of conflict.
The armistice has had meaning for
every generation since the firing ceased
a century ago – from those who created
the monuments of the Great War to
the people of Royal Wootton Bassett
who refused to let the fallen of Iraq and
Afghanistan pass without respect.
In many ways remembrance is as
much about the future as the past. Yes,
we reflect on the sacrifice of times now
behind us but it is also an opportunity
to learn and consider our own
responsibilities in times to come.
