in rememberance of our fallen heroes in the great war, ww2 and other
nationalities whos brave soldiers gave thier lives for our feedom and
liberty. also remember those that died in veitnam and the illegal war
the us and british governement have started.

sadly the last three surving soldiers from ww 1 died earlyer on this
year and didn't make it to the cenotaph.

Rupert Brooke. The Soldier

IF I should die, think only this of me;
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, 5
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less 10
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

if you have not bought a poppy this year, you should be ashamed of
yourself.
