Because im from and airforce family but my thoughts and prayers go out to all our lost and living heros, we owe them a great debt.

Yes we must always remember

Yes we must always remember

 

Indeed - and it's the big one in 2 years; 100 years since the Armistice!

Shrouds Of The Somme

 

Each figure represents one of the 19,240 British army soldiers who died on the first day of the Battle of the Somme - 1st July 1916.

 

 

If I should die, think only this of me:

That there’s some corner of a foreign field

That is forever England. There shall be

In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;

A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,

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

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.

 

The Soldier by Rupert Brooke. 1887 - 1915
