These men are worth your tears. You are not worth their merriment.

- Wilfred Owen

An ex-comrade in arms from my former regiment forwarded me this video. It’s been doing the rounds amongst veterans. It doesn’t need any explanation.

Since its emergence as a symbol of Remembrance after the First World War, poppies have taken on various shapes and sizes.

From handmade silk and cotton poppies to wartime poppies, 2023 sees the biggest change in the poppy’s design for a generation.

Made entirely from paper, the new plastic-free poppy is available alongside stock of the existing poppy to reduce waste and can be recycled in ordinary paper recycling collections.

As we approach Remembrance Sunday, please wear a poppy to show the Armed Forces community you care and help us raise vital funds to support Serving personnel, veterans, and their families all year round.

We said may we remember lest we forget. We said never again. Yet politicians turn a blind eye, fund active genocide or abuse people's suffering for their own political gain. Sometimes all three.

For those not in the UK you might not realise that the attempted cull of Ukraine started under Boris Johnson. With a failing government mired with constant scandals (That still is), he decided to use them as a PR exercise. None of them really gave a damn about the country or it's people, just how it could smokescreen yet another scandal they blundered into. Even Rishi Sunak has tried until he became bored with the idea and hunted for a new one in the form of blindly backing Israel and zionism specifically while demonising anybody who didn't.

They don't care about Palestine being ethnically cleansed, Ukraine trying to exist, the Congo genocide or Artsakh being purged of generations of families. No money in it. These are not even all the flags of those crying for help right now yet no matter what country they are or flag they carry, they will all receive the same shrug with the words that amount to not my problem.

For that reason I chose not to do the usual poppy for Remembrance this year. How can I when those who died to save people from atrocities get trampled over for the sake of political convenience and non-existent basic humanity?

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.

- Claire Harner, Immortality (1934)

We shall remember them.

Lest we forget: Remembrance Sunday (1)

This year's round-up of Crosses Of Sacrifice I have visited is small.....actually just two crosses in the same cemetery; the WW1 section (photos 1 -3) and the WW2 mainly Canadian section (photos 4 & 5) in Brookwood.

However, there are two Stones Of Remembrance. These are quite rare (in the UK at least) because they were only placed in cemeteries where more than 1000 dead lay or are commemorated.

The Stone Of Remembrance was designed for WW1 dead by Edwin Lutyens and unlike the Cross Of Sacrifice is free of any religious symbol. It is for everyone.

Brrokwood Military Cemetery, Surrey.
