Remembrance Day

 

The Ode of Remembrance is cited on Remembrance Day followed by the phrase "Lest we forget."

This month's newsletter is dedicated to all Veterans in Canada and abroad. Thank you so much for your services to Canada:) 

The Ode of Remembrance

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,

They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

Lest we forget.

In the First World War 61,000 Canadians died, in the Second World War 42,000 Canadians died.
