WELCOME LL ~ Thanks for a very elegant and poignant poem as we remember the 100th Anniversary of The Battle of the Somme. Wilfred Owen who died on 4 November 2018 (a week before the Armistice) wrote DULCE ET DECORUM EST. ......... My friend you would not tell with such high zest # To children ardent for some desperate glory # The old lie # DULCE ET DECORUM EST ~ PRO PATRIA MORI. It is sweet and beautiful ~ to fight and die for one's Country ! When will we ever learn ? Thanks for caring and sharing ~ Yours BRIAN
