#RedRoseSeptember #Day8 #History The Great War has always been a part of history that interests me. The fact that the human race said it was “the war to end all wars” then just over 20 years later did it all again boggles my mind. The horror of the Somme & Gallipoli should never have been repeated but people are stupid unfortunately. In doing my family history I found numerous relatives who were there, and a few that never made it back. #warsucks
arlenefinnigan We visited the Flanders Fields museum in Ypres and they have a display that lists all the wars since the 'war to end all wars'. Heartbreaking. 5y

gradcat I love what you‘ve written here...it definitely “boggles the mind,” and furthermore warrants keeping upfront in human memory, as well as history. ♥️ 5y
