My eyes were opened by reading this book:

The section on national grief and rememberance in the 20's/30's

Strangely the Guardian week end gave a couple of articles on this
topic, the first which moved me so much I circulated it in my
household and the second, The hardest night of their life, the last
mission of a troup of soldiers in Afganistan last year.

Both very different, and very sobering, stories.
