I am writing in response to the letter 'Government could do more to promote important second world war sites' (South China Morning Post, December 28).
I agree it is important to promote second world war sites, such as old gun batteries, artillery observation posts and bunkers.
The second world war was a global conflict that involved most of the world's nations. Historical sites can serve as reminders of the war's terrible legacy.
Education is always the best way to encourage peace. By promoting our second world war sites, we can educate the public about the negative effects of wars.
Teachers should take students on educational tours to such sites and teach them the history.
That will help students reflect on the horrors of war and the importance for peace.
We should learn from our history. Wars are not the answer to the world's problems.
