In Flanders Fields.

Toitū Otago Settlers Museum.

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.

Let's remember all those lost lives, for what.

a moving tribute astutely portrayed...too many lives were snuffed out in that epic struggle...we do well to remember and reflect..
