On your maypole green See the winding morris men Angry Alfie, Bill and Ken Waving hankies, sticks and books All the earthen roofs
Standing at the crease The batsman takes a look around The boys are fielding on home ground The steeple sharp against the blue When I think of you
Sam and Andy Jack and John Charlie, Martin Jamie, Ron Harry, Stephen Will and Don Matthew, Michael
On and on
We will remember them Remember them Remember them
We will remember them Remember them Remember them
Time has slipped away The Summer sky to Autumn yields A haze of smoke across the fields Let's sup and fight another round And walk the stublbed ground
When November brings The poppies on Remembrance Day When the vicar comes to say Lest we forget our sons
We will remember them Remember them Remember them
We will remember them Remember them Remember them
We will remember them Remember them Remember them
We will remember them Remember them Remember them

Those interested in WW1 might appreciate a movie called "Passchendaele". Saw it recently. Canadian and very well done. I believe they got into it before the United States did.
In many ways the movie offers a snapshot of a much bigger picture that was the war.

The military history of Canada during World War I began on August 4, 1914, when the United Kingdom entered the First World War (1914–1918) by declaring war on Germany.
