...outside Ypres. But these are not the names of all who died in a whole war; they are not even the names of all who died on a single battlefield. They commemorate the Britons, together with about 13,000 Canadians and Australians, who died at Ypres between 1914 and August 1917 and have no marked grave. (A separate memorial lists an additional 34,927 - also without marked graves - who died at Ypres the following year...
...Europeans the 20th century was a time of unimaginable horror. From the guns of August 1914 to the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, Europe was racked by the two bloodiest wars in history, by industrial genocide and by two murderous ideologies. For 44 years, the Continent was divided as never before. The legacy of all this is a deep aversion to - almost a loathing of - military force.

...another project: a move from New York, where he has lived for the past few years, back to Stockholm. Johan, his 24-year-old son from his first marriage, still lives in Sweden, and Hallström and his wife, actress Lena Olin, want their other children - her son August, 15, and their daughter Tora, 6 - to grow up Swedish, not American.
