Remebrance Sunday

[Nervous Jock]

This Sunday is Remembrance in the UK. Sadly we lost another of the old boys yesterday.

Gone but not forgotten.

I am sure that he and all the others will not be forgotten.

I am wondering if there is anyone who could help me by sending me a few Remembrance Day paper poppies via the post. I will gladly pay to receive them if we can figure out how to get the money across the pond.

If anyone thinks they can help - please PM me at your convenience.

Thanks in advance - and my apologies for hi-jacking this important thread.

We use poppies here in Canada, too. PM on the way.

We remember. Not just at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, but throughout the year. Canada supplied 600,000 soldiers to WW1 from a population of 7 million; 60,000 of them lost their lives before that war was over. I think John Babcock is the sole remaining CEF veteran.

Here in Ithaca there will be a parade. I'll be marching with my American Legion post. Hopefully I can get my wife to take a few pictures to share.

Excellent link, Jock.
I will be wearing my RAF tartan kilt with matching tie to church on Sunday.
Not sure if I will have a chance to catch any pics of the local Veterans Parade to and from their open air service in the park as I am on door duty at church this Sunday.

That is very sad to hear. I will be at my usual spot by our local cenotaph on the 11th. I have not missed a year in 17 years, except for when I attended the large observance in Ottawa when I was at university.
It's the least I can do for my Grandfather and the many who served before and after him.
Lest we forget,
Sara
