In a Foreign Field ...

Most unfortunately, I will be away on our annual Golf Holiday during the Remembrance Day observation. This will be first time that I have not been in either Canada, England, or in Europe during this solemn time (we will observe the Silence however ...).

I have tried to be a little more interactive, inclusive, jocular, and perhaps even ribald lately, but this is one day and one topic I cannot make light of, on, and during ...

Our family lost three men in the Great War and one in the Second War. Remembrance Day has always been observed in my House, and as a Child we left one place setting open at the Supper table for the Fallen.

So once again we honour all those, living and dead, who at the call of Queen, Country and Empire-Commonwealth left all that was dear to them, endured hardness, faced danger, and finally passed out of the sight of men by the path of duty and self-sacrifice, giving up their own lives that others might live in freedom.

Let those who come after see to it that their names be not forgotten.
