Quirky World... World War What?

ENGLAND: Half of people in Britain do not know the First World War began 100 years ago next month, according to The Daily Star.

The centenary of the war declaration is on August 4. However, a study of 10% of 18- to 35-year-olds said they had not even heard of the Great War, which accounted for a 1m British deaths.

The figures were put together by Leger Holidays who organise tours of the main battlefields including the Somme and Verdun.
