WWI really was a watershed moment though. An old-fashoined war fought
with the full force of what modern technology had to offer - machines,
manpower, chemicals, and no rules. Destruction and death on a truely
massive scale - all played out on film for everyone to see for the first
time. No-one could've been shielded from the real horror of what warfare
was all about, a state of mind which has influenced politics, art,
literature and popular thought ever since. We shouldn't ever stop
commemorating this moment - it's one of the defining factors of our
society and should always remain so.

Hi
It's interesting how ,after almost 90 years, folk still regard the First
World War as a departure from what went before. -How many of these
Thankful Villages suffered casualties in WWII or the various small wars
that our leaders have lead us into since? -Another question is whether
anyone at the start of the 20th century sought to commemorate the dead
of the Napoleonic Wars in the same way that we are still doing for the
First World War?

Sorry didn't get that point, but do now.
Unfortunately it wouldn't work absolutely, would it?
Just because somewhere didn't have a World war I memorial wouldn't mean
they were a thankful village, just that they didn't have a war memorial.
The recent progs by Ian Hislop about WWI memorials show how they might
have lost memorials. As you note the database may not be complete - does
it only record extant memorials or ones that used to exist? It looks
like only the former.
Also one may not have been built - not sure how they were funded/built?
Still a useful resource though
best wishes

I thought that was the point - you can check their thankful village
status by seeing if they have a memorial..?
