I'll be in town tomorrow with my family observing the silence, hopefully attending a service too.
Before I became a wire rustler I studied art and art history. A particular project saw me studying war artists, one of which was Paul Nash, the official British war artist for WWI and serving soldier.
I think that some of the paintings he produced, particularly the ones depicting shelled battlefields with scorched trees, serve as some of the most powerful images I have ever seen to remind us of the futility and destruction of war, most of all the human loss.
For me there is no better reminder than these pictures.
