foxfan 479 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 God bless and keep all victims of war. When will enough be enough ? The Question 1916Brethren, how shall it fare with me When the war is laid aside,If it be proven that I am he For whom a world has died?If it be proven that all my good, And the greater good I will make,Were purchased me by a multitude Who suffered for my sake?That I was delivered by mere mankind Vowed to one sacrifice,And not, as I hold them, battle-blind, But dying with open eyes?That they did not ask me to draw the sword When they stood to endure their lot --That they only looked to me for a word, And I answered I knew them not?If it be found, when the battle clears, Their death has set me free,Then how shall I live with myself through the yearsWhich they have bought for me?Brethren, how must it fare with me, Or how am I justified,If it be proven that I am he For whom mankind has died --If it be proven that I am he Who, being questioned, denied?

blackmaggie 3,375 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 went to the cenotaph with my 6 year old lad who observed the 2 min silence and clapped as solders young and old marched past and when he said dad i want to be like them a solder i felt proud and but it was a good turn out a mix of all ages and it shows the support the armed forces rightly still have today Quote Link to post Share on other sites
