The First World War by the Numbers

The war lasted 1,568 Days.

It is estimated that 9.8 million soldiers, from all nations, were killed.

Another 20 million were wounded.

7 million civilians died as a result of the war, be it through enemy action or starvation and sickness.

65,000 British servicemen were still hospitalised with 'shell shock' in 1927 - a decade after the war ended.

So, my WWI history prof had a white poppy today. I am so distraught.

Lest we forget...

Tomb of the unknown soldier. Ottawa, Canada. 

It's remembrance day back home. I took a break from my office, and went outside for my moments of silence. I rolled over the famous poem "In Flanders Fields," and I cried a little; thinking about how many poppies would be placed on the tomb of the unknown soldier back home, and how I wasn't there to pay my respects fully.

Suddenly, I realised that I was 6 hours ahead of my homeland, and could stand vigil twice. Heck, I could even get home in time to watch the ceremony online. This made me feel blessed and very happy in a solemn sort of way. 

To all those who fought, laboured, and experienced great loss, I salute you. Your efforts have not been forgotten.
