I am of similar age, born 1955. I think the other part of the perspective is because you know people who served in ww2, I never knew anyone who fought in the first war, whereas the last of my parents friends who was involved in WW2 died only 2 or 3 years ago.
Whatever the perspective, in my view, given the scale of the conflicts, the effect of the sacrifices, and the number of deaths that an annual act of remembrance is right and proper and will be throughout my lifetime. Beyond that it will be up to future generations.
