World War II victims
Sir, — The Hiroshima commemoration is held each year as a symbol of the horror of those first nuclear bombs and a recommitment of our energy to try to stop Governments depending on those bombs’ successors. Anzac Day commemorates those who died in the two world wars and later ones, and for some of those who were raped or suffered otherwise in those wars. But if Mr N. H. D. Ramsay (August 17) wants a day to commemorate all those who died in any war, that is good. Perhaps if we remembered all who suffered in all wars of conquest, all wars of liberation, all wars for the control of people, land, assets or trade, every day, we might not repeat the mistakes that led to each of those horrors. — Yours, etc., SUSAN TAYLOR. August 17, 1984.
