IN FLANDERS FIELD
In Flander`s 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 down, saw sunset glow
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flander`s 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 Flander`s fields.
Plaque :
WE REMEMBER
THOSE WHO CARRIED
THE ANZAC SPIRIT
FOR THE LAST
100 YEARS
AND THOSE
WHO STILL DO
