Veterans’ fight goes on long after war

Observing the new intake of Westminster MPs following World War One, Conservative politician Stanley Baldwin remarked on "a lot of hard-faced men who looked as if they had done very well out of the war".

Nearly 100 years later, there are scoundrels still profiting from it.

After all the slaughter and injury, even the able-bodied had to face hardship. When the cenotaph to honour the fallen was unveiled in London’s Whitehall in 1920, unemployed veterans demonstrated with a banner saying — “We ask for Bread and you give us a Stone.”
