Good on you Admin.

I was thinking of starting a new topic this morning for the lads who fell in the world wars, and now of course, other conflicts after those, but with this forum being for the Zulu war I wasn't sure that it would be allowed, so I thought better of it just in case it offended anyone.

We all owe a great deal of gratitude to those who fell.

May they rest in peace, and let us never forget them.

We have never failed to show our respects in any of the occasions that need to be remembered. That's one thing we all have in common. Idea

Ye sleepers, who will sing you?
We can but give our tears
--
Ye dead men, who shall bring
you
Fame in the coming
years?
Brave souls . . . but who
remembers
The flame that fired your
embers? . . .
Deep, deep the sleep that holds
you
Who one time had no
peers.

Yet maybe Fame's but seeming
And praise you'd set
aside,
Content to go on dreaming,
Yea, happy to have died
If of all things you prayed for --
All things your valour paid for --
One prayer is not forgotten,
One purchase not denied.

But God grants your dear
England
A strength that shall not
cease
Till she have won for all the
Earth
From ruthless men
release,
And made supreme upon her
Mercy and Truth and Honour --
Is this the thing you died for?
Oh, Brothers, sleep in
peace!

Did anyone watch the coverage on tv. Brilliant you could feel the atmosphere sitting at home. Idea

Hi John. I attended my local service. For some reason there was a far better turn- out than last year. I recorded the service on and I know what you mean. Excellent day all across the UK. Idea
