Srg Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 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.

uttoxram75 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields, Sleep sweet - to rise anew! We caught the torch you threw And holding high, we keep the Faith With All who died. We cherish, too, the poppy red That grows on fields where valor led; It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heroes never dies, But lends a lustre to the red Of the flower that blooms above the dead In Flanders Fields. And now the Torch and Poppy Red We wear in honor of our dead. Fear not that ye have died for We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought In Flanders Fields. nahttp://www.greatwar.co.uk/people/moina-belle-michael.htmught; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 R.I.P. I've been to the Belgian Battelfields, it changes your out-look on life totally... I hope that Armistice Day returns to what it should be soon, though. The Poppy has been hijacked as a symbol to glorify war rather than as a token of rememberance, and November 11th seems to stir up a hell of a lot of Islama-phobia these days. It's an insult to what Armistice is really all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorecambeRam Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Islamic protesters sparked fury today after they burned a model of a poppy and deliberately broke the silence at Armistice Day commemorations in central London. As millions of Britons fell silent to remember those who have died in war, members of a group called Muslims Against Crusades clashed with police during an 'emergency demonstration' in Kensington, west London. As the clock struck 11am, the Islamic protesters burned a model of a poppy and chanted 'British soldiers burn in hell'. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1328703/Remembrance-Day-Poppy-burning-Muslim-protesters-mar-Armistice-Day.html Absolute disgrace to our fallen. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 there is a minority of idiots who protest, my opinon is we went in and we did the right thing and no-one could change my mind of that. Let them say what they want because then they can't complain about england hating them and taking away their rights to protest. This is a minority of muslims who feel like this who are extreme in their views and as the old saying goes give them enough rope and they'll hang themselves.
