Dizzy Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 99 years ago today (4th August) in the year 1914........ Britain declared war on Germany. I've just been reading some of the old newspaper clips from that week and I can't imagine how people felt or what they really thought when they heard the news and read their papers.

observer Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 They did what the public have tended to do prior to all wars Dizz; wave flags and cheer the troops off. Then when the reality strikes, try to disown the war, and later the returning veterans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
