They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

I shot this in a field outside Salisbury during the summer, never been truly happy with it - it was still trial and error with filters/exposures etc. But I think people fighting for our country slightly overshadows that...

It's the 11th of November, which means it's Remembrance Day in Australia, when we commemorate the fallen soldiers of past wars and stop to remember what they achieved and sacrificed in their fight for others. Similarly, it's also Veterans Day in the USA, and Armistice Day in Europe, so I decided I would like to honour this day, in my own way.
Whether we are in favour of wars or opposed to them, it doesn't really matter on a day like this. Ordinary people get swept up into wars, sometimes by choice and sometimes against their will, and frequently give more than any person should have to give in those battles. So when we pause to remember them and think about what they did, we not only honour their memory, and ensure their efforts were not in vain and are not forgotten, but we also gain perspective ourselves, and ergo learn lessons from those who came before us. Even if those people might not live on now, their legacy CAN live on, and it can keep on changing our world for the better, if we let it.
This picture was taken in a Second Life roleplay sim set in Caen, France, in WWII, towards the end of the German occupation. So please don't feel like the German sign in the background carries any sort of pro-Nazi sentiment! I was simply trying for a historical feel to the photo, not a political message of any kind.
It is Remembrance Day in Canada. A time to remember the sacrifice of Canada's soldiers of, primarily, the last century. I've included a link that I have probably included before, but, here it is. The 3 PPCLI is my nephew's unit. He is a major, and did one tour in Afghanistan when he was a lieutenant. (Pronounced "leff-tenant in Canada) Every time I watch this video, I tear up. I showed it in French class today, after our Remembrance Day service. The helmet is a Canadian WWII model, made in London, Ontario, and is not a replica.

Handmade poppies adorn the fences of the silos in Devenish to commemorate Remembrance Day.
The Devenish Silos artwork was unveiled on Anzac Day Eve 2018 and coincides with the 100 year centenary of the end of the First World War.
The artwork is of both a First World War nurse and a modern day combat medic. Fifty young men and women from the Devenish community enlisted in military service for the First World War.
The artwork is by Melbourne street artist Cam Scale.
I took 2 minutes out of my day, (after I took this photo), at 11 am.
My colleagues in the office, and working from home, went outside for the 2 minutes silence.

I feel I come from better conditions.
Buried deep in my mind I forgot.
Awake my soul.
I want to find and drink this light.

Today we celebrated Remembrance Day, as alwayseach year on November 11th. It is also celebrated in the USA on the same day and is in remembrance of the Fallen Soldiers in both World Wars I & II as well as other wars since then. This photo appeared on the earlier newscast today.
St Peter’s Church in the middle of the pretty town of Stockbridge in Hampshire. Met up with friends for lunch at the White Hart then a walk round the town. Picture taken on Saturday- the town is always busy from 11am onwards and parking is problematic at the best of times but there some overflow parking on the main road into Stockbridge if required.
Always a sad time of year and we all need to take time to appreciate those lost in wars, we owe so much to them.
The inscription can just about be read “TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN AND WOMEN OF STOCKBRIDGE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY’. 1914 - 1918, 1939 - 1945.
Britain's annual Remembrance Day has a special dimension this year because it is the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
Remembrance Day, Monday, November 11th.

Chowk Yadgar or “The Square of Remembrance” is a famous landmark of Peshawar. Its location at the heart of the old walled city of Peshawar makes it a must see for every traveler. It is located at the convergence point of different major roads and bazaars of the old city.
The first “Dome Shaped” monument at this square was originally erected in the memory of Colonel C. Hastings in 1892 AD by his friends. Ever since then this place has witnessed agitation stemming from religious, political and international issues in the country and this place has a status equivalent to Hyde Park of London. So much so that several anti-British rallies started from this point towards the end of British Colonial Rule in the early 20th century. However, in 1969 the square was dedicated to the heroes of India-Pakistan War of 1965 and the old monument was demolished and approximately a 100 feet tall concrete arch was constructed. With the passage of time that “Modern White Marble Arch” became a symbol of Peshawar. But unfortunately this monument was also demolished and replaced in the early nineties with another “Dome Shaped” structure which currently stands atop an underground road connection.
To the West of Chowk Yadgar is the end of “Ander Shehr Street” (meaning “inside of the city”) or “Jewelers street”. The Jewelers Street starts from the “Naz Cinema Road” (right in front of Forward High School) and culminates at Chowk Yadgar. The entrance to the famous Mohabbat Khan Mosque is located in the middle of this narrow street. To the East of Chowk Yadgar is the Cunningham clock tower or (Ghanta Ghar) which was built in 1900 in commemoration of the Diamond Jubilee of the Queen Empress, but was later named after Sir George Cunningham a British Civil Servant, who came along somewhat later. The main street from “Peepal Mandi leads towards Chowk Yadgar after passing through the Bird Market; where song birds are sold as pets in small cages. To the left are a cluster of cloth shops which are engaged in selling all types of multi-purpose sheets. On the West Side of Chowk Yadgar, one can spot money changers sitting on hand-knotted Afghani carpets with their safes behind them and their pocket calculators in their hands. These money changers will change any currency (illegally), but will accept only large notes. The road on the South side eventually leads to the famous Qissa Khawani Bazaar.
The houses around Chowk Yadgar are built mostly of unbaked bricks set in wooden frames so as to guard against earthquakes. Many of these old houses have beautifully carved heavy wooden doors and almost all have highly ornamental wooden balconies. An onlooker can still witness some of these balconies while standing at the centre of Chowk Yadgar.

You cannot make Remembrance grow
When it has lost its Root --
The tightening the Soil around
And setting it upright
Deceives perhaps the Universe
But not retrieves the Plant --
Real Memory, like Cedar Feet
Is shod with Adamant --
Nor can you cut Remembrance down
When it shall once have grown --
Its Iron Buds will sprout anew
However overthrown –
--------------------------------
Erinnerung bringst du nicht zum Blühn
Wenn ihr die Wurzel starb –
Den Boden ringsum stampfen
Sie richten kerzengrad
Das täuscht vielleicht die weite Welt
Es rettet nicht die Pflanze –
Gedächtnis, wie ein Zedernfuß
Ist beschuht mit Diamanten –
Erinnerung schneidest du nicht ab
Wenn sie erst gewachsen ist –
Ihre Eisen-Knospen treiben neu
Wie sehr man sie beschnitt –
Emily Dickinson
Remembrance Day is the one day Canadians and other nations set aside to remember, with some degree of sadness and plenty of dignity, the sacrifices of our men and women and their families in conflicts from the Boer War to the War in Afghanistan. It is a time to reflect, to honour, and to pray.

Monday November 11th is Remembrance Day and here in Grimsby, Ontario local volunteers ave crocheted and assembled a blanket of brilliant red poppies to honour those who sacrificed so much so that we may take for granted the freedoms we enjoy. The blanket has been draped over a large stained-glass window and facade of an end wall of Trinity United Church as seen her in a period of brilliant mid-day sunshine. Lest we forget. - JW

It was a silent tribute not to just those who failed to return home but also as a tribute to the Australian Light Horse and to all animals that died during war.

I spent some time in this cemetery over the summer, making it a destination to run to, with my camera.
That's freedom. Thousands of people died so some nobody in the future could do that.
Rest in peace.

Always a day of remembrance for those who were taken, and for their families and friends who will forever be without them.
In addition to the loss of life, I also mourn the loss of powerful spirit and communal togetherness that arose in the aftermath of these tragedies. Today, eleven years later, I feel little sense of community, tolerance, even civility. So, this is also a day of reflection for me - how can we come together again as a country - at least not hate each other? I certainly can't answer that, but I can try to improve my little corner: become more involved in my community, more tolerant of differences, and more responsive to hope than despair.
