Rememberance Day

I write a lot about the English Civil War, it's a period I've researched and lived in a small way.
We re-enact the Battles up and down this island, in the hope that this will never happen again. To remind people that war is terrible.

We lost a third of all young men in the UK during these battles. Women and children died in their thousands.

Rememberance day does not glorify the dead and the brave. It honours them. The CUSA Cambridge Students should remember that. 
 
Wilfred Owen was 25 years old when he died fighting in France a week before the end of hostilities. Here is his poem about life in the trenches.

 The last two lines echo what the Cambridge Students are trying to say.  He was with them but brave enough to go and give them freedom to learn, spliff, party and forget his sacrifice.
