In November 2018 it will be 100 years since the end of the first world war. This war killed over seventeen million people and injured over twenty million others around the world. Sadly, it was not a ‘war to end all wars’. The second world war two saw around sixty million deaths and there were at least another 100 million in the rest of the century. These days, up to ninety per cent of people killed in war are civilians. The military often call these deaths ‘collateral damage.’
