Lest We Forget, Tyne Cot Cemetery Belgium

Lest We Forget, Tyne Cot Cemetery Belgium by Flickr JRT.
Remembrance Sunday 8th November 2009

In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
by John McCrae, May 1915

Amen.

I always have in mind this poem:

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them


This was put in with a portrait of my great-uncle, Harry Roy Jeffries, who died while training to become a pilot in Canada. I always remember seeing that at my nan's house when I was young…it will always stay with me.

We shall always remember them.

It is not until you see the row upon row upon row of head stones that you get the sense of scale of the number of lives lost. Superb shot and tribute, we will never forget.
