    It always gets me when they read the list of the names of the fallen. Ours is a small town and the list is not very long. For some letters there are only one or two names, for others many. These lists only give initials before the family name, as was English custom until quite recently; my college yearbook still did it 30 years ago. Thus we hear the names in semi-anonymity, A. Smith, A.S. Smith, B.K Smith, D.M.B. Smith, E.T. Smith, ..., images of unknown lives flash before us, one after the other. The lists are read by older pupils from the local school, fine young voices, confident voices, the fallen were of their age. The readers normally stay cool, but today one of them comes close to tears, perhaps a sense of the endless waste of life, perhaps just nervousness. Either way, she carries on with clear but trembling voice. Halfway through the names it starts raining. I keep my hat off until we've reached B. Yeo, the last on the list.

  15. CW: Remembrance Sunday; UK patriotism and ukpol

    After a rapid start and a busy day, I only just found time for my personal #RemembranceSunday ritual. I take some quiet time to read Wilfred Owen's Dulce et Decorum Est out loud, to myself, and consider its imagery and its meaning.

    The rise of fascism among people calling themselves patriots is just one example of how Remembrance has become a nationalistic fetish, rather than a genuine and solemn act of personal reflection. The poppy has become an opportunity for scolding people for being less "patriotic", rather than something worn with sincere respect for its origins. I was pleased to see the Royal British Legion call this out.

    When we say "Lest we forget", we must remember not only what happened in two World Wars and other conflicts, but why it happened. How there is no such thing as a "good war". And how we must defeat fascism whenever it rears its hateful head.
