 Summer 2014: a time of Remembrance
 
At the beginning of August 2014 the world marked the centenary of the outbreak of the 1914 - 1918 war. This was the beginning of the so-called 'Great War', later known as the First World War. A few weeks later, at the beginning of September 2014, it was the 75th anniversary of outbreak of the 1939 - 1945 war. This was the Second World War. 

During both World Wars millions were killed from all the nations involved in these conflicts, each one of them an individual. The late summer of 2014 was a time to remember.
