It's true. The Normans and the Romans are taught, but modern history, what happened in the last century seems to be sadly missing. An awful lot of them will have had relatives that died in the two world wars, and the significance of what happened resonates today. The big lesson from both world wars is to learn how devastating they were and to not let it happen again. Lost on today's yoof!
Churchill to most kids is a nodding dog that sells insurance.

I'm rather surprised that you would say that Justin bearing in mind the area that you come from. Many in the area will remember Churchill for something other than his wartime leader role.
I expect that next year there will be more of a commemoration for the 50thYesterday was the anniversary of the death if one of Britaing greatest heros/sons in 1965 and there wasn't even a mention of it, lest we forget!
When I was a lad I remember being taken to the VE day celebrations in London and three things have stuck in my mind, first the enormous crowds, second seeing the tiger skins the drummers wore and third the best of all seeing Churchill waving to the masses. Our country today would be very different without him during the war years he inspired a nation.
I wonder what he would think if he were here today!
Very sad news
