Me... and one other

I have extinguished  my candle that burned for one hour. I looked from my window, illuminated by a single candle to see how many others in my location had lit a candle with lights out, to commemorate the onset of the Great War. Just one other so far as I could see. Most houses had lights blazing... I am saddened by this. So many people who could not be bothered to recognise the significance of this occasion. How many of them I wonder do not have a distant relation who fell in this pointless war. Look around you at war memorials. So many young men killed in action.

Does it mean nothing to you?
