Today is Remembrance Day to remember our fallen and their tragedies and triumphs.

Today is Remembrance Day – the day that commemorates the signing of the Armistice with Germany that ended the First World War, and more broadly, that calls us to remember our fallen and their tragedies and triumphs.

‘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 failing 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 (1872–1918)
