We Will Remember Them


We Will Remember Them:
War Monuments In Canada.

WELCOME

Welcome to the "War Memorials" page. The pages linked here honour those who sacrificed their lives serving their countries and humanity during war and in peace - especially in peacekeeping; innocent victims of war's cruelty and the victims of The Holocaust.. It is intended to be a place to honour the memories, the sacrifices, and the loss.

The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there no torment shall touch them. Wisdom 3:5

In Flanders Fields

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 falling 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.

       -- John McCrae
