^Thanks for posting those photos, moving idea to symbolize this with red poppies. However .. i think while we should honour veterans, one should never stop asking questions, about whether it was really necessary to "create those veterans", in a way. Because usually it was not worth it, and without a certain government, state of mind and propaganda, it would not have happened.

Very good analysis by Niall Ferguson, about whether WW1 was necessary as it happened.
I am still reading "The pity of war", powerful book.
