Generation of 1914

Generation of 1914 is a term sometimes used to apply to the Lost Generation as the people who comprise the Generation of 1914 are also in that category. However the Generation of 1914 has a narrower birth range with a focus specifically on persons who where of fighting age when the Great War broke out in 1914. This range is from 1883 to 1896. The term is rather antiquanted nowadays as a drive to honor all veterans of the Great War had deminished any desire to distinquish the first to the field from those who enrolled to fight latter in the conflict.
