...the guns fell silent. For a while;

Apologies to those in nations who do not commeorate the "great fallen" but similar sentiment and certainly awarenes does I am sure prevail.

They shall not grow 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!

"Ah young Willie McBride I can't help wonder why,
do those that lie here know why did they die?
Did they really believe when they answered the call,
did they really believe that this war would end war?
For the sorrow, the suffering, the glory the pain,
the killing and dying were all done in vain.
For young Willie McBride it happened again and again and again
and again and again"

RIP all honest simple soldiers of all nations who died at the behest of arrogant and ignorant politicians.

Regards

Mark
