Although the literary memory of the war has often been discussed, little has been written on the public ceremonies on and around 11 November which dominated the public memory of the war in the inter-war years. This book aims to remedy the deficiency by showing the pre-eminence of Armistice Day, both in reflecting what people felt about the war and in shaping their memories of it. It shows that this memory was complex rather than simple and that it was continually contested. Finally it seeks Legacy of the Great War.Armistice Day (Great Britain)HistoryWorld War, 1914-1918Anniversaries, etcWorld War, 1914-1918Great BritainElectronic books.Armistice Day (Great Britain)History.World War, 1914-1918Anniversaries, etc.World War, 1914-1918940.4/39Gregory Adrian111345MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464239103321The silence of memory2022953UNINA
