Recently I have received correspondence from the British Legion about a planned project to remember every one of the  1,117,077 Commonwealth war dead of WW1, as the 4th August 2014 is the 100th anniversary of GB entering WW1.

The intention is also to keep the memory of the fallen for future generations. They say the idea came from the letter a 14 year old girl wrote to them after a battlefield tour of France and Belgium with her school. She wrote the following;  “I know that not everyone can be remembered as individuals but I felt it was a shame for some people to have dozens of poppies and crosses while others had no one to remember them.”

So they are selecting particular Servicemen and asking people to remember them.

I have been asked to remember Private H F Lake of the Bedfordshire Regiment who died on 24/11/1916.

It must be stressed they are not asking people to forget about their own family`s war dead, they are merely trying to have those kept in remembrance whose families may have all passed away due to the passage of time and who no longer have family alive to remember them.

Everyman Remembered

While all of this is commendable and I agree with it, there remains one flaw in the project.  UK citizens are being asked to remember the war dead BUT they are not being asked to remember the cause of the conflict.

The root cause of WW1 like the root  cause of WW2 and many other conflicts can all be traced back to the evil intrigues and machinations of the Babylonian Vatican and the Jesuits.  It is just as important to remember the instigators of the conflict as it is to remember  the victims.

Rev 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
