LEST WE FORGET

Plaque :
The Ode
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

Lest We Forget

Plaque :
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 falling 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
Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae MD
