"My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori."

-Dulce et Decorum Est, Wilfred Owen

"You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go."

- Suicide in the Trenches, Siegfried Sassoon

I consider myself quite well-read in poetry, but I somehow missed this Siegfried Sassoon poem.

Remember that he died in 1967. How prescient he always was.

Remembering the fallen of wars is not condoning war. It is honouring sacrifice #RemembranceDay2018
The Armed Forces do as much in peacetime as they do in conflict #supportveterans

Don't like the way Remembrance Day is used to glorify soldiers rather than remember the horrors of war?
Well then this game of "Jingo Bingo" is for you!
Simply tick off each statement when you hear it & shout "Bingo" when you complete the set.

On the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1, perhaps we should listen to the views of the people who actually fought in that horrific bloodbath...

As we head into #RemembranceDay2018 this weekend I had the privilege to see a moving ceremony organized and put on by the amazing students of @LakeviewPS this morning. Thank you to all who served and to all who continue to serve. @RoyalCdnLegion @CanadianForces #CanadaRemembers
