2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI and I have two talks relevant to this momentous occasion.
The first, The Cult of Remembrance, tell how war memorials were established after the war's end, and of the homecoming of the Unknown Warrior in 1920.
It is lavishly illustrated and comes in two versions, one is simply photographs of the main events while the second contains a film, made at the time, of the Warrior's homecoming, the 1920 Armistice Day parade and the unveiling of the Cenotaph in Whitehall.
This runs a little longer than my standard talk and if you are interested in this version you should allow perhaps one and a quarter hours to see it.
The second is a new talk covering the Armistice itself and the complex series of events that led up to the end of World War I.
Both these talks would be suitable for scheduling in November of 2018.
