‘The first casualty of war is the
truth………..’
Aeschylus
‘As in my youth, the young rushed into the adventure of war…and their widows
waited’
Unknown Ancient Greek Philosopher
Oh me? I joined up straight away, sir. August the 4th, 1914. Gah,
what a day that was: myself and the rest of the fellows leapfrogging
down to the Cambridge recruiting office and then playing tiddlywinks
in the queue. We had hammered Oxford's tiddlywinkers only the
week before, and there we were, off to hammer the Boche!
Lieutenant The Honourable George Colthurst St. Barleigh

What do you think are the
aims of today’s lesson?
Watch & Listen
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
Bertrand Russell
Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.
John F. Kennedy, 1961
The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without
conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We
know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing that
we know about living.
Omar Bradley
The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem, it is
generally employed only by small children and large nations.
David Friedman
The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of
thinking... the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only
I had known, I should have become a watchmaker.
Albert Einstein
Everyone's a pacifist between wars. It's like being a vegetarian
between meals.
Colman McCarthy
War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace
Thomas Mann
All the arms we need are for hugging - Author Unknown
The quickest way to end a war is to loose it
George Orwell
In war, there are no unwounded soldiers. José Narosky
In Flanders fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place, and in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
John McCrae
I think war might be God's way of teaching us geography.
Paul Rodriguez
We saw the lightning and that was the guns and then we heard the thunder and
that was the big guns; and then we heard the rain falling and that was the blood
falling; and when we came to get in the crops, it was dead men that we reaped.
Harriet Tubman
Organized slaughter, we realize, does not settle a
dispute; it merely silences an argument.
James Frederick Green

wars with the actual reality of
war which would stop anyone

huge conscript armies willing.

ordinary people to volunteer
