Paxman's Great Uncle died in WW1.
I agree with him and have visited Flanders and Somme in last 2 Septembers and really believe that you need it to be a sombre reflection of WW1 not a hyped up XFactor style piece of crap.
A really good idea would be to ask every single school pupil to find a name of an individual who never came back and find a little bit of history about them as a way of remembering them.
I know my littlies are interested because I have pictures to show of the visits I made and we find a bit of history about random names whose graveyard photos I have taken.
There is no glory in war and CMD I don't think will understand that.
