    Cuckfield Connections

    Lord Denning is described as ‘the law student’s favourite’ judge - a model of clarity. He was on the side of the ‘underdog’ and was known to show compassion in his decisions. To many - he was simply the most famous and popular judge of all time.

    He never held back his views - his judgements certainly make interesting reading. For trainee lawyers some famous Denning judicial decisions are required reading. Better known ones concern the Profumo Affair, and the Freddie Laker airline v British Airways and other's address national security issues.

We were five brothers. Two were lost in the First World War. They were the best of us.’2 In this brief retort we see Denning perform a complex act of remembering and commemoration: through his subtle invocation of the ‘lost generation’ – the ‘best’ of the cohort of young men who fell in the Great War; through his emphasis on the loss experienced by his fraternal family unit; and through his use of the slightly admonitory second-person ‘you’, which draws the attention of both the imagined questioner and his intended reading public to their collective, continuing duty to remember the sacrifice of the fallen. Even Denning’s choice of title – The as opposed to My Family Story – indicates his intention to present his family’s history, in which his and his siblings’ wartime experiences play a prominent role, as emblematic. By presenting his ‘story’ this way, he rendered his high-achieving, atypica
