As good a place as any to consider Britain and Europe

1/
Named for a battle, but was that about the British defeating the French, or about the importance of having allies across the Continent?

2/
Do we memorize to remember the pain of our European endeavours or the shared human toll of war?

3/
Do we see the folly of entanglement or the building of links?

4/
Do we look for what sets us apart, or what binds us together?

5/
There is no right answer to any of these questions, but in each case we are reminded that Europe is always there and it always matters, for good or ill

6/
If we forget that, then we truly will have learnt nothing
