Listing all the conflicts would get too complicated and the numbers could get subjective, like in Iraq. I saw the original All Quiet on the Western Front when I was maybe about 10-12, made a huge impression on me, about German school kids being told how heroic and fun it would be to sign up for WW1, and how it turned out. Too long for assembly obviously. Yeah yeah - what's the story with the new signature?! I'd expect this kind of smut from the likes of @Alert Mongoose, but really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're remembering soldiers who died to liberate occupied France in 1945 but you're also remembering soldiers who died suppressing the MauMau. It should be a prompt to reflect on the variety of ways in which our armed forces have been deployed since 1914, and whether pride or even gratitude should necessarily be the only thing you feel. To light the mood at the end he could tell the Death by MauMau joke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I'm making a brief PowerPoint to teach kids about remembrance at assembly next week. Any suggestions to help escape the madness that currently surrounds poppy day? Last time I was at the hearts Rememberance service Gary Locke (the manager at the time) read a letter from the front sent by a player who didn’t make it back which was quite effective as it grounded the whole thing to a human scale opposed to flags, maps and politics Ideally you’d source a letter from a former pupil but if You want to put a twist on it then you could find one in translation so that the big reveal at the end is that private Schnitzelgruber never got back to his farm in Schleswig Holstein 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abseil down from the ceiling in a full poppy suit launching red, white and blue flares round the hall whilst the theme from the Dambusters blares out.
