I guess my point of course is don’t glorify the tragedy, but honor those brave souls who died in that tragedy.
WW1 cured most Brits of thinking war was glorious. The Light Brigade is commemorated these days not for the glory of the action (at least not by most Brits I know) but for the useless waste. The Brits have done a lot of cultural re-evaluation since having two giant wars in the past century-plus, not all of it bad.
