Page "Julian Grenfell" Paragraph 3

In a letter that was written in October 1914, Grenfell wrote " I adore war.

It is like a big picnic but without the objectivelessness of a picnic.

I have never been more well or more happy.

" This letter became infamous when its publication sparked a backlash of arguments that it was naive and that it strengthened propaganda in the media, which had led to thousands of young men signing up to the British Army, under false pretences.
