One of the best pieces written about the generation we lost with the passing of Patch and Allingham. For me this paragraph was most powerful:
"What are the lessons? Do not go to war unless it is inevitable, and preferably not even then. Maintain the welfare of the poor, the sick and the old. Look after the nation’s Armed Forces. Do not ask them to fight impossible battles with inadequate equipment. Make generous provision for those mentally or physically damaged by war. Keep cynicism and aggression out of national policy."
