-
I want to take you through the commemorative forms
-
that the First World War created,
-
which created cultural practices that are still very important today.
-
Anybody going to England today--and I mean today,
-
I was there last weekend in Oxford--
-
will see everybody wearing a little red poppy in your lapel.
-
This is what you buy for a couple of pennies,
-
whatever you want to give as a contribution to a charity
-
called The Royal British Legion, the biggest charity in Britain.
-
It is still to this day the biggest charity
-
for those families, and indeed survivors,
-
and successive generations of those who served their country
