\nIn Flanders Fields
\nby Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae MD<\/i><\/p>\n

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
\nBetween the crosses row on row,
\nThat mark our place; and in the sky
\nThe larks, still bravely singing, fly
\nScarce heard amid the guns below.<\/p>\n

We are the Dead. Short days ago
\nWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
\nLoved and were loved, and now we lie
\nIn Flanders fields.<\/p>\n

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
\nTo you from failing hands we throw
\nThe torch; be yours to hold it high.
\nIf ye break faith with us who die
\nWe shall not sleep, though poppies grow
\nIn Flanders fields.<\/td>\n

\"a<\/a><\/td>\nSuicide in the Trenches
\nby Siegfried Sassoon.<\/i><\/p>\n

they shall not grow old<\/p>\n

I knew a simple soldier boy
\nWho grinned at life in empty joy,
\nSlept soundly through the lonesome dark,
\nAnd whistled early with the lark.<\/p>\n

In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
\nWith crumps and lice and lack of rum,
\nHe put a bullet through his brain.
\nNo one spoke of him again.<\/p>\n

You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
\nWho cheer when soldier lads march by,
\nSneak home and pray you’ll never know
\nThe hell where youth and laughter go.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
