Conclusion - Remembrance Day
Since you have now researched some basic background information about Remembrance Day, I would like you to look at the following poem:

**__In Flanders Fields__** // (1) 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// // (5) 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. // // (10) 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 (15) In Flanders fields. //
