In Flanders Field

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.

Written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, May 3 1915

'When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say,
For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today.'

The Kohima Epitaph, World War II

We honour those who served and those who died for our freedom;
To those who sacrificed so much for our future.

We thank you, we honour you, we remember you.
Lest We Forget.
