Saville Report on Bloody Sunday

Amazing essay here by Simon Winchester, who was the Guardian's Northern Ireland correspondent at the time of Bloody Sunday.

Sunday Bloody Sunday Report

Wow. The Saville Report is out and it exonerates every single one of the people killed during Bloody Sunday in 1972. Amazingly detailed - chilling and depressing; whole report is here.

Gaffe by English Keeper Robert Green Gifts Goal to USA

This is in today's Courier - that's three cartoons in four days. Might not have to teach my classes in the fall.... I feel bad for Robert Green - seems like a stand-up chap, and this was probably one of the top five goalie gaffes in football history, given the ridiculousness of the thing itself, and the importance of the goal. Ray Clemence in 1976 against King Kenny was a good one too....

How Much do we Think about our War Dead?


Aftermath

Have you forgotten yet?...
For the world's events have rumbled on since those gagged days,
Like traffic checked a while at the crossing of city ways:
And the haunted gap in your mind has filled with thoughts that flow
Like clouds in the lit heavens of life; and you're a man reprieved to go,
Taking your peaceful share of Time, with joy to spare.
But the past is just the same—and War's a bloody game...
Have you forgotten yet?...
Look down, and swear by the slain of the War that you'll never forget.

Do you remember the dark months you held the sector at Mametz—
The nights you watched and wired and dug and piled sandbags on parapets?
Do you remember the rats; and the stench
Of corpses rotting in front of the front-line trench—
And dawn coming, dirty-white, and chill with a hopeless rain?
Do you ever stop and ask, 'Is it all going to happen again?'

Do you remember that hour of din before the attack—
And the anger, the blind compassion that seized and shook you then
As you peered at the doomed and haggard faces of your men?
Do you remember the stretcher-cases lurching back
With dying eyes and lolling heads—those ashen-gray
Masks of the lads who once were keen and kind and gay?

Have you forgotten yet?...
Look up, and swear by the slain of the war that you'll never forget!

March 1919.

Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967)
