The Eleventh Hour, of the Eleventh Day, of the Eleventh Month

of the Year 2020.

And Nations of the Free World shall fall silent in Honour of those who made the Supreme Sacrifice in defence of that Freedom.

We remember them all, yet let us keep a corner in our hearts especially for those of our comrades whose service began through the gates of the school of the

Arborfield Army Apprentices.

A Soldier’s Prayer.

Spare two minutes of your time,

For the countless years I gave of mine,

So bombs and bloodshed all would cease,

That around the world there might be peace.

Honour me by holding your life dear,

And take care to keep your loved ones near.

Find every ounce of hope you can,

Then share it with your fellow man.

And wear the poppy each November,

A promise that you will always remember.

Verse by Laura Tapper.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn,

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them,

We will remember them.
