With regard to <br />"Most memoirists," we are told, "actually had mixed feelings about the war". <br />At this point I think we have to disentangle what the 'mixed feelings' are. There is a difference between depicting the horror of the war, resentment against the alleged incompetence of those in authority, feeling antagonistic to war profiteers et al and arguing that Britain should not have taken part in the Great War. <br />Also the question of time is important. It is understandable that the generation born in the 1890's might feel resentful that after going through the Great War, the world was still a dangerous place. I can see why disillusionment increased over time. Michael Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13168616146624019628noreply@blogger.com
