Patriotism and memory in wartime satire and reflection
In this reminiscence, the author critiques wartime patriotism excesses from World War I, recounting name changes for German items, jokes about Kaiser and the V sign, and a cautious view of memorials. He notes monuments from 1865 and WWI memorials, contrasts memory with credit, and recalls a WWI Birmingham train scene and a sixpence cake anecdote.
