We will remember them

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

 

An extract from a far longer poem, 'For the Fallen', by

Robert Laurence Binyon, 1869-1943.

 

For all the people of every land who suffered, and still suffer because of war. Let us remember them now, especially. On the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, 1918, the First World War ended. A hundred years ago. Still people make war. Let's make peace NOW, before it's too late.

 

Taken at the National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas, near Lichfield, Staffordshire, England. and edited in Topaz Studio with one of my own textures lightly applied. There are memorials to all participants in the wars here - even the Veterinary Corps - animals were used extensively.

 

Thanks as always for every comment - may you find peace and love in your lives, always.
