Notes
July 14th is known in English as ‘Bastille Day’ but in French it is known as “La Fête nationale Français” but Is usually just referred to as “Fête nationale”. As our show is on this date, we thought a floral art display to recognise this important day for the French would be appropriate.
On the 6th February 1918 Women in the UK finally got the right to vote in the ‘Representation of the People Act 1918’, although only women over the age of 30 were entitled to vote. It was not until the Equal Franchise Act 1928 that women were given the same rights as men and were able to vote if they were over the age of 21.
Finally at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the “War to end all wars” came to an end. World War I had left 9 million soldiers dead and 21 milion wounded as well as at least 5 million civilians who died from disease, starvation or exposure. At 5am on that morning, Germany and its allies were completely exhausted and an armistice was signed in a railway carriage in the Forest of Compiène, not far north of Paris. This year it is 100 years since the end of World War I and, although it was supposed to end all wars, it is a sad fact that the UK has been involved in 43 conflicts since that time including the Second World War, Iraq, Afghanistan and the Balkan Conflicts.
