I only see truth in his words. Why shouldn't he talk like that? It is true, is it not, they gave their today for our tomorrow? Look around and you will see they are not with us today, are they? That's ecause they gave their life on their today so we can have a tomorrow.
It's now the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day. I'm reminded of this poem and the millions of young men who lost their lives and their future, whichever side they fought for.
For me this poem sums up the awfulness of The Great War far more than many of the longer works. Both my Grandfathers fought in Flanders ,and both carried the horror of what they has seem throughout their lives. I heard recently that there was a movement attempting to stop the remembrance service ,believing that after a hundred years we should forget. The sacrifice made by those boys all those years ago is no less great because of the passage of time.Those who died and those who returned, scared for life in mind and body deserve our our utmost respect. I do not think that a two minutes silence once a year is a lot to ask in return fort their lives.
Roflcopter4b Wrong. That is absolutely wrong. It is meant as a remembrance for all that perished in the tragedy that is the First World War. Do not try to spin a poem that is meant to show remembrance to those who gave their lives into some kind of political narrative.
Atleast 74,000 Indian soldiers died in WW1 - among many tens of thousands of troops from other countries who were colonised. All of their deaths are FORGOTTEN. They fought for the honor of the uniform and the weekly pay that enticed them. They fought for the prestige and flimsy promise of better lives for their families. They fought a war far from their lands about quarrels they had scarecly any idea about in lands they usually couldnt name. They all died forgotten and today their deaths are not just forgotten but erased from the narrative of their people's history because they dont want to remember these soldiers of their conquerors. They are a Statstic in the homes of the masters they fought for and absent from the history of their own people.
They fought for delusions, namely the pride of kings and vain visions of national glory; it was a catastrophe in a sea of mud that destroyed Europe forever. We really should remember this.
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. (In case anyone was wondering)
We continue to remember the boys from near and far, That gave up their lives amidst the trenches of war, In the bloody fields of Europe, where rained more shells than water as the soldiers went through slaughter, and home was very far, With so many that didn't feel the family reunion's glee; they died defending values that keep us strong and free They fought with watery eyes and sometimes they couldn't hear, We can only imagine; not feel their flesh in pain with crimson tear, Or the stench of rotting death, that would take away our breath, For years, lingered the smell; from this perpetual hell in the Flanders fields, my dear, where life was very far, and death was always near, The place where banshees stared, For every ammo clip a crimson flood was dripped And limbs were blown up high, where a hidden mine was tripped, All hoped that the horrors would cease in that place of death and disease, But it kept on going for years, right through the winters' freeze, Enough can never be said, about soldiers, pumped with lead Or the poppies that still grow, over the mighty fallen dead,
I always read this poem on every Remembrance Sunday and 11th November as my way of remember those brave and couragous men and women in the past and the present who have sacrificed their lives so we can live in peace and be free.... Lest we Forget....
Lovely poem. Two brave brothers from Annan, Scotland, both lie in our cemetery. They both died on the battlefield within a short time of one another. Their Uncle passed the story on to me, Jock Walker. He too has passed and is fondly remembered. I was fortunate enough to see some of the fields and to say prayer to those who died. RIP

Now here’s a poem i wanted to share I did in class (forgot 3rd stanza) In Novemeber we Remember All the soilders who are loved Who are know in the skys above Who fought for us and our freedom In november we remember All the soilders that fought with courage and honour That shows us a symbol of courage we shall never forget And all the people that they have met (Made by a 9 yr old)
Love this poem and memories invoked. Never gave my childhood me,movies much thought at the time but I was a post war child raised in Mascot. We wandered the streets and backyards wit free abandon. We shared that environment with an array of uncles, pops and older men who lived in ‘ granny flats ‘.- small fibro additions in the family homes. I recall many of these men lived solitary, private lives. We knew them, were taught to respect them and their privacy. Apart from the occasional footy hitting their homes there were no incidents, we had Jock and Jug nearby. Jug would sometimes just appear seated at our kitchen table with a cuppa. He was a bike rider and had strange mannerisms and facial tics but our family made Jug laugh- a rarity. I was to learn later that he fought in PNG and had issues and we should tell the men if he was acting strange. He was part of our life for years, even riding to our new home in Hurstville A bit drawn out this but as I’ve aged I’ve always thought about these folk whose lives so affected by war that their growth and life seemed to me to be on permanent pause. I’ve also realised that our Mascot streets were repeated across the Nation. There was a nation of Jugs and Jocks. A few thoughts for them today

One of my ancestors called Private John Sturgess (age 24) was severely wounded at Hill 60, Ypres in 1915 when this poem was written and lost his life at a hospital in London on the 17th May that year.

My great grandfather ,Edward Alfred Gaydon 8th btn Kings royal rifles, left his brother dead in arras france, captured in 1918 after being gassed, held pow in rastatt Germany till 1919. Gave everything for England's glory.now look at England.
Remembrance Day has significance for me, my father was killed in Europe during WW2, yes that makes me a old man but without the service of those boys that gave their lives this world would be a very different place
Agreed. Many men and women fought and died so that we may have the peace and freedom we all share today. To all the soldiers alive, and who have passed on, thank you for your sacrifice

This poem is beautiful, But the human race has learned nothing from the great wars. They are still at war, and people still die .Soldiers still die to protect and fight for our freedom and freedom of others.
It's a long road. Maybe we won't live to see the proof of learning this harsh lesson, but we should always try, because not trying only makes the perpetuity of this conflict absolute. P.S: Sorry if it sounded preachy, it just...really exhausting to see hopelessness and cynicism (nearly) everywhere. Have a nice day, everyone.
@@maewest1948 What freedom? The German Empire at the time, despite all propaganda, had the Reichstag with considerable powers, making it a constitutional monarchy like Britain. There was no freedom to be protected in WWI, only the interests of Empire. WWII is another story.

They fought for delusions, namely the pride of kings and vain visions of national glory; it was a catastrophe in a sea of mud that destroyed Europe forever. We really should remember this.
My grandfather was there. Thank you and God bless you for remembering.

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. (In case anyone was wondering)
Nice job 👍 Lest We Forget
It's rememberance day btw
Zaraerae Smith thanks👌
Thanks i have to learn this poem for homework and i have lost my copy.
Zaraerae Smith We'll never forget.
Koty Same do we go to the same school
We continue to remember
the boys from near and far,
That gave up their lives
amidst the trenches of war,
In the bloody fields of Europe,
where rained more shells than water
as the soldiers went through slaughter,
and home was very far,
With so many that didn't feel
the family reunion's glee;
they died defending values
that keep us strong and free
They fought with watery eyes
and sometimes they couldn't hear,
We can only imagine; not feel
their flesh in pain with crimson tear,
Or the stench of rotting death,
that would take away our breath,
For years, lingered the smell;
from this perpetual hell
in the Flanders fields, my dear,
where life was very far,
and death was always near,
The place where banshees stared,
For every ammo clip
a crimson flood was dripped
And limbs were blown up high,
where a hidden mine was tripped,
All hoped that the horrors would cease
in that place of death and disease,
But it kept on going for years,
right through the winters' freeze,
Enough can never be said,
about soldiers, pumped with lead
Or the poppies that still grow,
over the mighty fallen dead,
Beautiful 🥺
Did you write this? Very moving. Thanks.

In Novemeber we Remember
All the soilders who are loved
Who are know in the skys above
Who fought for us and our freedom
In november we remember
All the soilders that fought with courage and honour
That shows us a symbol of courage we shall never forget
And all the people that they have met

Omg John McCrae went to the high school that I'm going to right now!! That's so cool.
Flying bum
Very nice poem xx
Drink my Tea really your name is drink my tea?
That is very cool he was also my grandma’s great uncle
Jealous
Absolutely no question that these men are heroes for all eternity.
Does dying for the lies of Kings make one a hero?
What does make them hero's is they died supporting the man next to them
