The Cornwall hamlet that lost its sons

A national newspaper is reporting the sale of real estate in the hamlet of Hille in Cornwall. Apparently this hamlet lost all of its men to the evil First World War.  It appears also that there is no war memorial in the hamlet.  That does not upset me.

War memorials are not good things.  They tend to place an entirely inappropriate patriotic veneer on mass murder.  Are we really supposed to be proud of the fact that millions of British men in two world wars answered the call of the anti-patriotic scum in Downing Street?  Can we not recognise that Hille lost its men because the British people cannot resist the siren song of evil politicians?
