Slartibartfast Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 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 May all those who have fallen on the field of conflict live forever in our hearts and minds... To remember the reason that they died so that we may live. 1 Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) A rather unusual picture for my Rememberance Sunday post. This is Nell... An English Farm Collie who spent 1918 as a messenger Dog in France. She's reputed to have saved hundreds of Commonwealth, and American Soldiers lives. They also Served (even if they didn't carry a gun) Edited November 11, 2012 by UK_Widowmaker 1 Quote
