OUR DAILY
PUB QUIZ
26% think France was WW2 enemy
MORE than a quarter (26%) of 16-to-29-
year-olds thought the Allied Forces were at
war with the French in the Second World
War, not Nazi Germany.
A poll also found 10% thought the
conflict began in the 1950s, not 1939, and
12% thought it ended in the 1960s.
More than a fifth (21%) had no idea that
the US entered the war at all.
Meanwhile, 15% believed the Battle of
Waterloo was fought during the Second
World War and 10% thought the same
about Battle of Trafalgar.
Just 35% described their history
knowledge as “poor” – although 86% said
an understanding of the past is important.
The survey of 2,000 was carried out to
mark the DVD release of the war movie
Midway – and only 21% of those quizzed
had heard of the 1942 battle that inspired it.
Grenfell architect
‘no experience of
high-rise cladding’
process for Grenfell, it was unlikely to
have qualified. Mr Sounes agreed, citing
lack of “relevant experience”.
But Mr Kuszell said: “I believed we had
the processes and experience of complex
buildings to undertake this. We put the
project in the hands of one of our most
senior and experienced people.”
The inquiry heard that architect Neil
Crawford, who joined the project at a
later date, had worked on high-rise
residential buildings in a
previous role.
Mr Kuszell also denied
Grenfell was treated as
an “add-on” to the larger
Kensington Academy
and Leisure Centre
project, or as an “eyesore”
or a “problem that
needed to be solved”.
At the end of his ques-
tioning, he apologised to
the bereaved and survi-
vors, adding: “Hindsight
now comes into play. If we had under-
stood building regulations were not
robust, that we can’t trust a certifica-
tion... this is so sad, but I don’t think this
tragedy would have happened.
“It really shouldn’t have happened
and I’m really sorry for all of you and
everybody else involved in the project.”
The inquiry continues.

Boss apologises at inferno inquiry
It really shouldn’t have
happened and I’m really,
really sorry for all of you
Studio E dirEctor AndrzEj KuSzEll, above, aT inquiry
THE architecture firm working on
Grenfell Tower’s refurbishment had
no experience of cladding high-rise
residential buildings, the inquiry into
the disaster heard yesterday.
Studio E admitted it had never worked
on such a tower before, specialising
more in leisure centres and schools.
And Bruce Sounes, the lead architect
on the project, had no
experience of over-clad-
ding occupied residen-
tial high-rises, boss
Andrzej Kuszell said.
The first phase of the
inquiry found that the
tower’s cladding was the
“primary cause” of the
rapid spread of the 2017
inferno, which killed 72.
In an email early on in
the project, Mr Sounes
told a colleague “we are
a little green on the
process and technicality” and that he
planned to consult another firm. Giving
evidence, he said he was concerned by
the logistics of working on an occupied
site, adding: “It seemed quite daunting
so I thought I would ask someone.”
Studio E was signed having already
won a tender for a school and leisure
centre near the base of the West London
tower. Mr Kuszell admitted if there had
been a similar competitive procurement
