Whilst I can understand the feeling, I am not sure the Daily Mail is totally unbiased in its handling of this.
I was just reflecting the other day at how totally impressed I was how ordinary men and women of the towns that host the WWI battle sites and graveyards behave as custodians of that history. Towns in France and Belgium that show such tender respect for the fallen, and the families of those who fought and now make pilgrimages.
I have nothing but gratitude for those folk, and suspect the average men and women in France and other European countries show the same respect for the fallen and returned servicemen of WWII.
