I agree, the first world war disappeared from public consciousness far too quickly and thoroughly. It's also true that the memory of the flu epidemic that occurred near the end of the war likewise disappeared from memory, although in recent years several books have been written about it, most notably "The Great Influenza" by John Barry, which is a book I frequently recommend to people.
