What gets me is that the 2 great wars are not generally taught at GCSE level, it focuses more on history before the wars and back to 1066 etc. Our children, and our children’s children must be educated properly on how important WWI & II were in shaping our futures.

Unfortunately thats true. I didn’t take GCSE or A level history, but A level history is Elizabeth I, Henry VII, Russian History, Louis 14th and the French Revolution …

We did study world war 2 in year 8, I remember my teacher Mrs Steele saying ” these were the people who gave you all your freedom. They should always be remembered to you as heroes and never be scorned upon. If it wans’t for them, we’d all be German.”
