Lineage of Waugh's

Is there a meaning to War??A metaphor to ponder this by. The familial line, society and peers, lineage is not so simple. The adopted or fostered marking a line of demarcation in familial territories. War embedded in these tales, leaving a clue, and a tantalising clue that like works of peers such as a famed Waugh lead the search about war.A different trail than others perhaps see.
