Through the haunting words of John McCrae, we reflect on the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War. The powerful imagery of Canadian soldiers navigating the war-torn landscape captures the physical and mental toll of battle. As we approach Remembrance Day, we honor the brave souls who fought and died, preserving their memory with a moment of silence—a tradition started by King George V in 1919. Let us remember the cost of war and the importance of peace, as we hold their memories close among the poppies of Flanders Fields.

  19. In Flanders Fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing flyScarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days agoWe 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 throwThe torch, be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields The poem was written by a Canadian - John McCrae, a doctor and teacher, who served in both the South African War and the First World War.

  27. What is Remembrance Day? November 11th is internationally recognized as Remembrance Day. At 11am women, men and children hold a two minute silence to remember the millions who have died in war. The silence is usually observed at war memorials, cenotaphs and religious services and shopping centres throughout the country.

  28. Why hold a two minute silence? The first two minute silence was held on 11 November 1919, when King George V asked the public to observe a silence at 11am. This was one year after the end of World War 1. He made the request so "the thoughts of everyone may be concentrated on reverent remembrance of the glorious dead".

  29. Dear God, We pray for all of the victims of war. We pray for peace in our world. Amen
