Lest We Forget.

The children at Templefield Lower School have created a beautiful memorial wreath to commemorate the fallen soldiers, past and present. We have been learning about what the poppies mean and why it is important to honour and remember those who fought for us. The memorial wreath has been placed by The Memorial Statue in Flitwick. 

In Flanders Fields

By John McCrae

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.
