Two of our boys: James Tuplin and Alexander MacKinnon sacri- ficed their lives, others returned to their homes, some disabled.

We helped to show our appreciation by giving each one a welcome home party and a gift as a remembrance In honor of those who endured and sacrificed their lives for Canada’s Honor and Canada’s Existence, a

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, through poppies grow In Flanders Fields.

Lt. Col. John McCrae
