Lest we – and the young – forget

LAST Sunday, the British High Commission in Kuala Lumpur organised its annual Remembrance Day ceremony at the cenotaph near Tugu Negara in KL.

The ceremony was particularly momentous this year in that it is the centenary of the armistice that ended World War I (1914-1918). It is also the 70th anniversary of Malaysia’s Emergency (1948-1960).
