Terry Deary Quote

Sometimes an event happens that is so great the world is never the same again after it. In the twentieth century one of the greatest of those events is World War I – fought against Germany from 1914 till 1918. Everyone is in it together. Upper classes and lower classes, women as well as men. This ‘mixing’ has never happened before and it will change the way the classes look at each other
