100 years later- Gone but never forgotten- Remembrance day special
"They shall not grow 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."
To the 60 people that died during WW1 in my village. Many of them were either buried in the location that they fell or were missing and never found.

In Flanders fields- John Mccrae
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.

Thank you to those who died and got people to where they are today.
See you next time,
Bye,
XOX, Juliette
