“ There is something about the First World War that makes it a fundamental part of our national consciousness. It is hard to comprehend just how many young people of that generation were lost. Every village I go to, every town hall I visit, the list of names lost in the First World War is all too often twice as long as those lost in the Second World War. It is humbling to think of the sacrifice they made for us.” David Cameron Prime Minister December 2013 Why should young people learn about the First World War?
