Can't believe it, but November 11 will be the 100th anniversary of the Armistice and end of World War I in 1918, optimistically thought then to be "the war to end all wars". It will be marked in observances around the world honoring the millions who were killed or affected by that cataclysmic conflict.
How do you think William acquits himself in the brief video showing him speak? I think he is dignified and a good ambassador to the occasion. His look and "energy" is so different than Prince Charles, interestingly. A lot of that is the Spencer "influx" probably, but I was getting a feeling of a young Prince Philip watching him-- maybe it's because of the shape of his head and heavier jaw?

Apart from frivolous musings like mine, it is a sobering time to acknowledge all those who perished in that huge chaos of 1914 to 1918. I had family who could faintly remember World War I or at least echoes of it, in the songs of the period which they could sing, like "K-k-k-Katy" and of course, "Over There". Chills.
