Reading a book on child soldiers in WWI. This passage is the first to stick in my mind: When it came to war and death, the experience of childhood in the early twentieth century was very different from that experienced a hundred years later in one way in particular: todays children are graphically exposed to images of war but protected from the effects of death; Edwardian children were all too aware of death but largely naive about the effects of war.
