Oh, and the Cenotaph was opened in 1920 to commemorate those lives lost in WW1. There was no threat to our freedom in WW1 at all.
After the invasion of Belgium, conducted in order to invade France, to deliver a knock out blow to the latter so they couldn't/wouldn't come to the aid of Russian and Serbia, who were next on the German list of nations to confront over the perceived threat to Austria-Hungary. What would have happened if we kept our selves to our selves? I'm not saying this wouldn't have been the better course of action, but had the German Schlieffen plan worked? Also, what about the WW2 crowd? they are represented by the Cenotaph, always have been as well as those who have been placed in harms way since.
