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 ...

And even the pictures of them in the weekly news [were] ... just another casualty list.– An interviewee remembers World War I
