November 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that brought the First World War to an end. More than 15 million people died in the conflict, which ushered in a horrifying new type of industrial slaughter; high explosive shells, poison gas, aircraft, machine guns, and tanks mechanised killing to a brutal new level. Now, a century on, how do we remember those who perished? What does remembrance mean and how has it changed? How different is the British act of remembrance from those countries where conflict continued for many years after 1918, and for the defeated nations? In this special edition of the Big Idea podcast, Ranald Leask is joined by three University experts with a keen interest in these questions.
