I realize my comment will be as welcome as a fart at a garden party, but here goes. the British Royal Family are actually German Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. They betrayed their own country in WW1 and WW2.

WW1 was such a different war from all others. Technology was advancing at an incredible rate, biological warfare had no restrictions, and war strategy could not keep up with the other two.
So many soldiers fought and died in HUGE numbers during their battles.
Truly a great generation. Of course, they raised the WW2 generation which matched their grit well.

I am sorry to say that in some parts of the U.K that the young honour those dead by spray painting the memorials or stealing the plaques from them to sell for scrap sadly enough

What about those 100 + millions of people The British helped slaughter in North America and the millions in Australia? Does it only matter when people die on the "good" side?

Recruiters turned a blind eye, despite many of the volunteers looking as if they hadn’t started shaving. The youngest authenticated soldier was Sidney Lewis, who enlisted in the East Surrey Regiment when he was just 12 years old and fought at the Somme the following year.
