Old soldiers never die Bugle notes and drum beats Warrior fading quickly The red poppy leaves are wrinkled Play the music gently Last petal now has fallen Bugle notes and drum beats |

"I have just had the pleasure of reading your wonderful Remembrance Day pages. My late husband served all through World War Two, he had a deep reverance for The Poppy. When he died this month in 2003, I placed a poppy in his lapel before the funeral.
I am a poet/ songwriter and I have many published works …….
Thank you for the pleasure and reinforced memories your site has given me tonight.
You have done a magnificent job of adding my song to your wonderful site. I must confess I have tears in my eyes listening to it. How proud my late husband Terry would be, if he could see it. The falling poppies look so beautiful on the screen, I am indeed honoured and hope many will enjoy my efforts ……"
Every Best Wish,
Mary Buckley-Clarke
We remember all ….. Sadly, due to the current intensive operations, the names of many young men and women are now being added to war memorials throughout the land. So, on Remembrance Day, we remember these people as well as those from the two great wars. |
