But history is always being rewritten, and so there are whole sections never mentioned, and then 'found' again (for example the war heroine Mary Seacole who was a famous name in her time, but only recently 'rediscovered'). There was poll in London today about the red poppies sold to commemorate the first world war. Some Londoners remembered why, but worryingly so many really didn't know what it was all about.
