Abstract

Memory is always about the future. When political conditions change, so do narratives about the past. This essay attempts to show the present-mindedness of commemoration of the centenary of the outbreak of the Great War in various parts of Europe. One case in point is the Russian rediscovery of the trilogy of a strong leader, a strong army, and a strong church in internet narratives of the Great War, in song, in poetry and in prose. Another is the stress on local rather than national narratives of commemoration, on memories rather than on memory, in a Western Europe with a troubled politics of national populism and resistance to full European integration. A third is the fracture between Western European secularized narratives of war and Eastern European and Middle Eastern sacred narratives of war. All show a profoundly divided historical landscape painting by profoundly divided contemporary commentators on the past.

14. Britain's ‘Lost generation’ of the First World War

Abstract

Summary The demographic consequences of British war losses in the Great War varied by class. Since casualty rates among officers were higher than those among men in the ranks, the social elites from which officers were largely recruited suffered disproportionately heavy losses. Working-class casualties were more numerous, but they were lighter proportionately, because many workers were excluded from the army and navy to work in war industries. In addition, once in uniform, workers were less likely than their social superiors to be passed fit for combat duty, and until late in the war were excluded from the officer corps. As a result, the most severely depleted social groups in the 1914–18 war were the most privileged, whose marriage patterns in the immediate post-war period were distorted by the absence of marriageable men. The concept of a ‘lost generation’ of social elites who fell in the war is, therefore, not a myth, but rather a legend which had a basis in fact, but which took on a life of its own in...
