Stupid war that Britain (and the US for that matter) had no business being involved in.

I collect/sell WWI & WWII posters. A few years ago, found a stash of WWI posters up in NW Iowa...they had been in a closet for nearly 100 years! Many WWI posters are particularly beautiful; many of the noted illustration artists at the time were recruited to create them.

Have originals of these two hanging within 15' of me as we "speak." Note the "melting pot" theme of "Americans All"

While rummaging around in my late grandmother's music cabinet, I found WWI-era pacifist sheet music.
