Armistice Day


11/11/2019

So what about the silence?

 

 

This is one of the most famous poems of the First World War - CLICK HERE to listen to In Flanders' Fields.

Here's how this poem came to be written:

A PRAYER FOR THIS DAY

Lord of the nations -

We remember with grateful hearts

the men and women of our country

who went forth to protect the liberty we enjoy

but who did not return!

 

Help us recognise the debt we owe them

so that we may strive, in our own lives,

to protect the freedoms

that were won at so great a cost.

 

And so we commit to your safekeeping

those who have died in war;

those whose memory we treasure;

those who have sacrificed themselves

in the service of humankind.

 

Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord

And let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace.  AMEN
