No one has to rewrite For The Fallen - where it says "England mourns her dead across the sea - just say Canada mourns her dead across the sea - whether the fallen came from Canada or Britain they all died for our freedom - so lets not quarrel over unimportand things - Let's Honour them all!!

I lost my great-great-grandfather in the war. Obviously I wasn't around then, but my great-grandfather (whom I did know) was 10 when his father was killed.

For the Fallen,
by Laurence Binyon (21st September, 1914)
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.
"England mourns her dead" - and what of the hundreds of thousands of Scots, Irish, Aussies, Indians, and Anzacs she sent to their graves?

Yes I'm happy to remember them every year. But the images of the first world war remind me of the idiocy of war and the disregard the people who started and continued it had for ordinary men and women. Jean Jaures was right - we should have had a general strike in August 1914. That would have stopped the toffs in their tracks!
