Here in Folkestone we have the Road of Remembrance - which leads from the town to the harbour where countless soldiers departed for the front. It has particular significance today, but it is always decorated with hand-knitted poppies all year.  |

And I can't help but wonder, no Willie McBride,
Do all those who lie here know why they died?
Did you really believe them when they told you "The Cause?"
Did you really believe that this war would end wars?
Well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
The killing, the dying, it was all done in vain,
For Willie McBride, it all happened again,
And again, and again, and again, and again.
Eric Bogle
If only politicians could show 10% of the courage and integrity shown by those brave men who fought for our freedom. God bless all those we lost, and those who returned home genuine heroes and role models for us all.
