    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.

  • Issue 56 - May 2016 Editorial
    THE TIGER THE NEWSLETTER OF THE LEICESTERSHIRE & RUTLAND BRANCH OF THE WESTERN FRONT ASSOCIATION ISSUE 56 - MAY 2016 EDITORIAL Welcome again, Ladies and Gentlemen, to the latest edition of “The Tiger”. One of the advantages of belonging to our Branch is the number of opportunities that arise to attend Great War-related events and thus, whilst meeting people with similar interests to oneself, promote the existence of the WFA to a new and wider audience. The last month has brought forth three such opportunities, which saw in turn a more encouraging response than our own overtures to Leicester’s theatrical giant, “The Curve”. Those of our readers who saw the production of “Wipers” in April will hopefully share our opinion on the excellence of the production and its value in enlightening its audience to the sacrifice (and, indeed, the vagaries) of the Indian Army in the Great War. Contrast that, however, to the behavior of the Theatre’s Communications Co-ordinator, who, after declining to return phone calls and reply to emails, received a personal visit to enquire whether representatives of the Branch could stand in the Theatre Foyer before and after productions to promote our cause. The mono-syllabic retorts that followed confirmed earlier suspicions our mission was doomed to perish on the altar of apathy and, in spite of the job title, nothing more was ever heard . It was, therefore, a pleasure to accept the invitation of Sue Mackrell and David McCormack of Crystal Clear Creators to join their “Pack Up Your Troubles . .” journey around the sites of Leicester’s Great War Music Halls and Theatres and learn of Vesta Tilley, Gertie Gitana and others through the excellent prose of Music Hall Historian and writer, Deborah Tyler-Bennett, (shown left, holding postcards of the time) who dressed in period costume for the morning.

  • St Dunstan's (Blind Veterans'
    St Dunstan’s (Blind Veterans’ UK) & St Marylebone St Dunstan’s, now Blind Veterans’ UK, was founded in the parish of St Marylebone during World War I. Every Sunday, blinded soldiers and those who cared for them, would walk from St Dunstan’s Lodge to the parish church for worship. Today, Blind Veterans’ UK still holds an annual Christmas Carol service at the parish church and its headquarters are in nearby Harcourt Street. www.blindveteransblog.co.uk This card, titled "St. Dunstan’s Hostel, Regent's Park, for Soldiers & Sailors Blinded in the War” was one of a set of six. It has this caption on the back, "These men, who have given so much for the Empire are living not the passive half- life which is usually held to be the life of the blind, but a full life of interest and endeavour." In February 1915 a Blinded Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Hostel opened in London. Initially numbers were small, but soon became clear that the quantity of men blinded in the war would continue to grow. Otto Kahn, an American businessman, loaned his house in Regent’s Park with its 6 hectares of ground to Sir Arthur Pearson, himself recently blind from glaucoma, as a place to train the newly blinded men. Although accommodation was provided in other locations including Brighton and Torquay , it is the house in Regent’s Park that became closely associated with the blind men from the wars and gave the organisation the name if St Dunstan’s, by which it would remain known until the change in 2012 to Blind Veterans UK.

  • 3931 Knights Batchelor Service
    Westminster Abbey A Service to Mark The Passing of The World War One Generation Wednesday 11 November 2009 10.55 am THE FIRST WORLD WAR At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, the Armistice signed by Germany and the Allies in Marshal Foch’s railway carriage in the Forest of Compiegne came into effect, bringing to an end the hostilities that had involved millions of people from countries across the world. The First World War had lasted four years, four months, and fourteen days. More than one million men, women, and children, Service and civilian, from across the British Empire lost their lives. The War left an enduring impact on those who survived, and on the nation as a whole as the country struggled to come to terms with loss on such an unimaginable scale. They were determined that the sacrifices of the World War One generation would never be forgotten. In marking the passing of this remarkable generation today, and as the nation falls silent at 11.00 am, we honour that promise. THE PADRE’S FLAG The Union Flag hanging at this service over the Grave of the Unknown Warrior, sometimes called the Padre’s flag, was flown daily on a flag post, used on an improvised altar, or as a covering for the fallen, on the Western Front during the First World War. It covered the coffin of the Unknown Warrior at his funeral on 11 November 1920. After resting for a year on the grave it was presented to the Abbey on Armistice Day 1921 by the Reverend David Railton, the Army chaplain who used it during the war.
