Watching some tv today has reminded me that some Jamaican troops were involved in the both WW1 and WW2, As we here in the EU get ready for our Rememberance Day 11/11/11 its only right that we paused and remember http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_Day

Much respect to that! We will also be observing Remberance Day in Canada on Friday. Many thanks to all Veterans no matter where in the world they may be.
our main day of remembrance will be Sunday when the Queen leads a service in london, but many will also stop and think on friday
kind of disappointing not more bordies have showed support to this thread:(
In remembrance of armed forces who have fought and given their lives in so many wars, especially my father , who fought to liberate Holland and France. Thank you!
Tbay its mainly a commonwealth thing, and the percentage of commonwealth boardies is lowQuote:

For all the troops, past, present and future. Thanks for protecting our lives, and for your sacrifice for our freedoms.
Thanks to all the troops especially the Lake Superior Scottish Regiment.
Your sacrifices will not be forgotten.
In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army
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.
