The Scotsman on WW1 ignorance.
YOUNG people are largely ignorant about the First World War with almost two-thirds not being able to name the year that the war ended, a poll has found.
More than half (54 per cent) of the same age group did not know when the war started (1914), according to the research from think-tank British Future.
But it is not just young people who are confused about the facts. When asked by pollsters YouGov, members of the public hazarded guesses as wildly out as 1800 and 1950 for the start of the Great War, and 1910 and 1960 for the end date (1918).
