This album is a reflection on the decade of War at the beginning of the century.
Almost 100 years ago a total of 9 million troops died across the world in the Great War 1914-1918 in what was described at the time as the war to end all wars.
Even 60 years after World War II, as Andrew Marr has observed: “Britain
has spent
disproportionately more on defence than other countries of a similar
size". In the decades following the (Second World) war
“
Britain would always be fighting
somewhere”.
"The age of warfare is alway about to end, yet in practice we keep fighting."
