I know that I shall meet my fate,
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.

RIP Boss.

In the words of a soldier of the Second World War.
“We wear our poppy with pride as we remember all those who fought and died, of all creeds and countries, and on both sides. We remember them and hope we never have to go to war again”
I will remember them dad.

Went to a christening last week and they had a plaq up in the church. It listed all who died from that parish in the 1st world war. It must have been basically all the young men from that small parish who died.
Shocking what people must have gone through with that war.
Lest we forget RIP

The photos of the war graves in Belgium are just staggering. When you think that they represent just a small fraction of the lives lost in conflicts around the world, taking a few moments to respect their memories and appreciate the sacrifice they made is the least we can do.

The news is spread far and wide
Another comrade has sadly died
A sunset vigil upon the sand
As a soldier leaves this foreign land
We stand alone, and yet as one
In the fading light of a setting sun
We’ve all gathered to say goodbye
To our fallen comrade who’s set to fly
The eulogy’s read about their life
Sometimes with words from pals or wife
We all know when the CO’s done
What kind of soldier they’d become
The padre then calls us all to pray
The bugler has Last Post to play
The cannon roars and belches flame
We will recall, with pride, their name
A minute’s silence stood in place
As tears roll down the hardest face
Deafening silence fills the air
With each of us in personal prayer
Reveille sounds and the parade is done
The hero remembered, forgotten by none
They leave to start the journey back
In a coffin draped in the Union Jack
