Though the process had began in the Crimean War, and continued into the Boer War, it was the events of World War One that truly ushered in an era of community and national commemoration, honouring servicemen and women, that had never been witnessed before in Britain. This was the period when the Commonwealth War Graves Commission began its remarkable work, the Poppy was adopted as a symbol of remembrance, and the Last Post became known to everyone. In this insightful bookazine we explore how service personnel, veterans and civilians alike come together to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. 116pp; ￡8.99.
