  • House of Lords Chamber Event 2013
    The Great War: Listening to the Past; Talking to the Future One hundred years after World War One, what is its legacy for the UK and how does it shape the nation today? Chamber Event 2013 29 November 2013 Debate transcript Contents Introduction 1 Opening speeches 4 Floor speeches 9 Closing speeches 18 Votes 20 Conclusion 23 Note on participants 24 House of Lords | 1 Introduction The Lord Speaker (Baroness D’Souza): Good afternoon, and a warm welcome to you all. It is wonderful to see you here in a very crowded Chamber. I am Baroness D’Souza, the Lord Speaker, and I am presiding over the debate, as I do normally when we hold debates in this House. The discussions we are going to have today are extremely important, as I am sure all of you realise, in that we will be talking about defence, remembrance and, of course, the legacy of the Great War and other conflicts. This is the seventh debate to be held in the Chamber with guests who are not Members of this House. For hundreds of years, no one was allowed to sit in this House unless they were Peers. Most of you are not Peers, so we are very delighted to see you here today. I am doubly pleased that we have a mix of young cadets and venerable veterans with us today. This is only the second time that we have held an intergenerational debate, so again we are making history. I hope you agree that it is both valuable and wonderful to hear views from across the age range.

Please contact them directly if you wish to use their material. 1 Hello All It will not have escaped the notice of many of us that the month of July, 2009, with the deaths of three old gentlemen, saw human bonds being broken with the Great War. This is not a place for obituaries, collectively the UK’s national press has done that task more adequately (and internationally, I suspect likewise for New Zealand, the USA and the other protagonists of that War), but it is in a way sad that they have died. Harry Patch and Henry Allingham could recount events from the battles at Jutland and Passchendaele, and their recollections have, in recent years, served to educate youngsters about the horrors of war, and yet? With age, memory can play tricks, and the facts of the past can be modified to suit the beliefs of the present. For example, Harry Patch is noted as having become a pacifist, and to exemplify that, he stated that he had wounded, rather than killed, a German who was charging Harry’s machine gun crew with rifle and bayonet, by Harry firing his Colt revolver. I wonder? My personal experience in the latter years of my military career, having a Browning pistol as my issued weapon, was that the only way I could have accurately hit a barn door was by throwing the pistol at it! Given the mud and the filth, the clamour and the noise, the fear, a well aimed shot designed solely to ‘wing’ an enemy does seem remarkable.
