In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army
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.


Westerby, Valentine I believe is attending services at Kanchanaburi today. There is nothing arranged for Udon today to the best of my knowledge.

I hope to listen to BBC Radio 4 via the Internet and watch BBC World via UBC.

being in a foreign county is always hard to remember those we lost at a public gathering, I remember quietly in my garden on my own.
I have links with the BL in my last home town and send them a message, remembering is in your heart I feel.
