three score years and ten: the regulation lifetime, since britain declared itself at war with germany and world war two was underway.
Not quite twenty one years since the end of the war to end all wars, with its mud and its trenches and its poets.
The new war would bring us bigger horrors, with its camps and its mushroom clouds.
How hugely grateful should those of us born in the west during the last seventy years be that we have never had to face such a situation.
Let us give thanks and praise.
