"Better to lose a little national sovereignty than a son or a daughter" (1975). Worth remembering, amidst all the bloviating about Brexit, WW2 and the Blitz Spirit in today's papers. 
Margaret Thatcher put it aptly in 1975: peace means "being prepared to live our lives together, in becoming so enmeshed through trade and co-operation that to turn on one another would be unthinkable and impossible". margaretthatcher.org/document/102701
And here's Ted Heath in 1971, a man who had travelled through Nazi Germany in the 1930s, witnessed the bombing of Barcelona in the Spanish Civil War, fought in the D-Day landings and ended the war in the ruins of Hanover.
The abuse of war as an excuse for patriotic chest-thumping is perhaps the most grotesque feature of the Brexit debate. The memory of the dead deserves better.
