Hi Margaret,
Thanks for the kind words. The Globe deleted one paragraph. I don't have
it here in front of me, but it went something like: of course selecting
what poems will be studied is problematic, but that's the OBE's job. The
teachers themselves are too young to have fought for freedom, but the
least they can do is to teach the best of our war poetry so that students
can gain some insight into the historicity (pardon my English) and
coningency of freedom
All the best,
