Toronto. Take a break and honour our fallen soldiers today. In Canada, we hold Remembrance day on November 11th with the minute of silence at 11am. During the silence we remember all those fallen who gave their lives to let us live in this democracy.
At left is the grave in Europe of a cousin I never met who died in WW2. Our family had uncles and grandfathers in the great war and uncles and cousins in WW2.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow … is a line from the haunting poem written by a local doctor in 1915. He died in Europe just three years after penning this tribute. He was 45. We learnt McCrae’s poem as children.
