"...but I do agree we should not forget to educate about avoiding it's ludicrous causes."

         I would have no problem reading about Arthur Currie's accomplishments - if there was at least equal newspaper space and equal TV time given to the causes of the war,;the unwise imperialistic harsh terms of the 1918 peace treaty the "Treaty of Versailles"; and the consequences of the war and the peace "deal, namely that Germany was immediately determined to wage a war of revenge (WWII), and the Arab nations were betrayed instead of rewarded for being the allies of the English and French, precipitating 100 years (and counting) of conflict.
  Also it's important to learn how the war might have been avoided by smarter, more friendly political relations among competing nations. Also the inevitable multiple disasters  as a consequence of European conquests of Third World nations.
  I might add, the attitude of the British imperialists towards war, conquest, and "inferior" races" was egregious.
