"Remembering Armageddon"

Hopefully you all were able to access the blog earlier this week and noticed that we will be discussing "Remembering Armageddon" tomorrow. We will also examine Cynthia Commachio's article as well. For both, please consider the following questions before tutorial.

1. What are the thesis arguments?
2. How do the scholars support their cases?

In regards to Vance's article, it is my hope that this article will spark interest in a general discussion about Canada's role in the Great War and what this had on the nation's collective memory. We still commemorate the sacrifices our fallen soldier's have made so we can all bring something to the table based on our own experiences growing up with Remembrance Day. I understand that some of may not have read this article because it was not required for tutorial but it is a really great piece and I hope we can discuss tomorrow. Also, for those of you that were snowed in two weeks ago, we can still potentially discuss the articles from that week tomorrow as well.
