My grand-uncle fought in World War 1 and when I was young we’d go to visit him. He’d sometimes tell of the suffering of war. A century on, we still have wars raging throughout the world - if leaders knew first hand of the suffering caused by war, maybe they wouldn’t be so gung-ho about commencing battle.
