I'd point as, as a Brit, that the shadow that WW2 casts over modern Britain is far longer than that of WW1, purely because most people in the UK, have either a parent or grand-parent who was actively involved in WW2. Not to mention, if your family is from the South, then said Grandparent or Parent (in my case) lived in London during the blitz.
As M says, even 60 years later, WW2 is a massive distorting mass in the rubber sheet of British modern history. So YES it is that important to Brits. :)
Actually, she didn't say it like that but I like the imagery.
