Post; WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

Del Boy · November 10th, 2007

Sunday, 11 November, is our Poppy day, when we commemorate our fallen warriors. It is ,of course, the date of the WW1 armistice, and the fallen grow not old as we have done.We are still adding to their numbers, even today. God Bless Them, every one.

When I would muse in boyhood
The wild green woods among,
And nurse resolves and fancies
Because the world was young,

It was not foes to conquer,
Nor sweethearts to be kind,
But it was friends to die for
That I would seek and find.

I sought them and I found them,
The sure, the straight, the brave,
The hearts I lost my own to,
The souls I could not save.

They braced their belts around them,
They crossed in ships the sea,
They sought and found six feet of ground,
And there they died for me.
