War-based literature is intrinsic to shaping our understanding of the past.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For my younger self, reading about inspiring war heroes within fictional stories gave me a deeper level of knowledge and understanding of past wars. In engaging with these tragedies on a personal level, I felt like I was establishing a human level of understanding which transcended rigid fact and statistics. Works of fiction are truly vital in conveying an emotional subtext beyond the actualities of war.\u202fSo, in teaching schoolchildren about war through fiction, literature provides a nuanced pathway which excels in demonstrating an authentic and intricate angle of war\u2019s impact.\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Goodnight Mister Tom<\/em>\u202fby Michelle Magorian (1981) is a strikingly important war novel.\u202fThe plot revolves around nine-year-old William Beech (Willie) and his evacuation to the English countryside during the start of World War II. His placement with widower Tom Oakley (the titular Mister Tom), brings about a journey of mutual growth and healing for both characters.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magorian\u2019s work subverts the prominent soldier-led plot in favour of civilians during wartime. Her focus on a found family connection contrasts the cruel and dark backdrop of the war, establishing the hope that combats wartime fear. War heroes in this case materialise in a very different form. The label \u2018hero\u2019 here is not limited to a typical depiction of a solider, but a reclusive, grief-stricken man becoming a dedicated father figure to a neglected child.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, I reckon I weren\u2019t kidnapped. I reckon I was rescued.\u201d (<em>Goodnight Mister Tom<\/em>, Michelle Magorian)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plot in its entirety can be read as an extended metaphor of the impacts of war itself. Namely how Willie\u2019s journey from the threat of Nazi bombs over London, to the safety of Tom\u2019s home in Little Weirwold. His evacuation liberates him not only from an external threat of the war, but the internal threat of his mother\u2019s abuse, too. Tom steps into a hero role by fighting an allegorical war in ending Willie\u2019s physical and emotional abuse. This novel therefore evidences the importance of community-solidarity and love within war-time settings.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will remember, always and forever.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Words by Millie McCormack<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are moments in history that are so horrific, it is difficult to believe that they are facts rather than fiction. Yet both fictional and real lives are forever altered by the catastrophic impacts of war.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Historical fiction has had a significant influence on my understanding of war and its devastating effects. It\u2019s also shaped who I am today and created my passion for law and politics. War fiction grants us access to lives we\u2019ve never lived, allowing us to experience&nbsp; grief, fear, and the burden of choices we will hopefully never have to make. Reading about a world so far removed from your own is how we develop an understanding of those who live in war-time countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many war heroes whose strength has been forgotten over time or lost amongst the shadows of history. But through books, their hearts still beat. This is why it is imperative we remember those we have lost to war not only in November, but each day, because the future we have is built upon their bravery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;The Alice Network (2017) by Kate Quinn was one of the first books that opened my eyes to how little we are taught about the sacrifices made within wartime. While still fictional, the book is inspired by the forgotten hero Louise de Bettignies, who took the code name Alice Dubois during WWI and worked as a spy in German occupied France. Her courage is believed to have saved the lives of more than a thousand British soldiers during WWI, but not without cost. Louise gave up her identify and ultimately her life as she died in captivity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quinn continues to remember real forgotten war heroes in The Rose Code (2021), depicting the top-secret German code breaking facility operating in Bletchley Park during WWII. The work conducted in Bletchley Park was so confidential that even their families were kept ignorant of their work in ending the war and were therefore unable to speak of their contributions for decades.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among unrecognised heroes during wartime were many women whose bravery and intelligence helped end WWII. Their contributions are often overlooked as many of their stories remained hidden long after peace was restored, and some are still only being discovered today. These stories are not confined to history; they are reminders of the importance of remembrance, and that war remains an ongoing reality for millions of people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
