It is vitally important for all of us to be aware of our history and to document it as frequently as possible as knowing about the highs and lows of the past help us determine what we should endeavour towards and what to avoid in our futures. Gaining knowledge about the horror and atrocities that occurred during past wars positions us to avoid war at all costs and to have a strongly negative predisposed view of future wars. Through the transfer of knowledge from our war veterans to our younger generations we grow to realise that the magical myth of war is really not that at all and the effects of war are everlasting on the one’s who fought it as well as the friends, families and communities that in someway or another experienced the pain and loss of war.
