An article in The Guardian questions Britain’s plans to mark the Centenary of the First World War and if a national, unifying commemoration can be achieved.
The author of the article, Martin Kettle, argues that efforts to mark the conflict at a national level face challenges as “this official commemoration will be happening in a country whose shared national narrative is fraying before our eyes”.
The article gives an overview of what is known of current national plans in Britain and key figures who are involved, as well as the political climate the commemorations will take place in.
