Evidence: | 'A study was made on Armistice Day reactions, comparable to those made in previous years. Even at the Cenotaph there was only a low degree of interest, and in Westminster Abbey at 11 a.m. there were 7 civilians, one soldier and 4 poppy-sellers outside ; 30 women and 5 men at the tomb of the Unknown Warrior, where a priest read a prayer, and there were five wreaths. The level of reaction generally was exceedingly low, even when compared with Nov. 11th, 1939.' |
