Hi Garry,

WE too had that poem EVERY year through school on Remembrance Day. Powerful poem hey?

I know I'm still shocked by the ages of some of the young men. One of my Grannies cousins was only 18, and I KNOW that 18 was OLD compared to much younger "boys" who went off to war.

Regards the poem ...I was delighted to find a copy of the HANDWRITTEN by its author online. Brings it closer home to "reality".

Lest We Forget.
