Roll of Honour - WW1

The HLI WW1 Honour Roll is to big to reproduce here but you can go to Find a Soldier where for a fee there are extensive searches and reports available.

The Honour Roll searched is the Roll produced in 1921 and published by Hayward & Son in association with The Imperial War Museum. These are now made available by Savannah Books for which we give grateful thanks.

 

IN FLANDERS FIELDS by John McCrae

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
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.

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
IN FLANDERS FIELDS.
