Pubkväll 11/11

Nästa tisdag träffas vi som vanligt på Pub 19 kl. 19 för en trevlig pratstund över en, eller två, öl.
Det råkar också vara Remembrance Day och 90 år på dagen sedan första världskriget tog slut.

In Flanders fields

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.

John McCrae
