Our People Our Century - Families at War
Television (Excerpts) – 2000
I don't really remember hearing Mum and Dad grieving together over these losses. People became inured to it ... I mean there wasn't a day when somebody's son or somebody's brother, or some man wasn't being killed. And even the pictures of them in the weekly news [were] ... just another casualty list.– An interviewee remembers World War I
