January 1914

The papers are full of WW1 related stories at the moment - and it can only get worse  over the next four years.

We're already in the middle of a row between Michael Gove and Tristram Hunt on the political interpretation of the War (my money is on Hunt), but meanwhile The Observer had this fasciniating article on the news for January 1914:

It seems that no one had any idea what was just around the corner.  What a surprise!
