Armistice Day 11th November

Remembrance Sunday 2023 is on November 12th

We remember all who have died in conflicts everywhere, long ago, recent and current

They shall grow not 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.
Laurence Binyon (1869 - 1943) Poems for the Fallen link

When you go home tell them of us and say,
for your tomorrow, we gave our today.

Remembrance

Remembrance is a golden chain, Death tries to break, but all in vain.
To have, to love, and then to part. Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart.
The years may wipe out many things. But some they wipe out never.
Like memories of those happy times, When we were all together. ~ anon
