Fiona, this is a nice tribute to all of the armed forces from your country and mine who have served in conflict. It is always a very solemn day and deserves the recognition it gets as a special holiday.

I am just wondering about 'most' in line 7 and whether it should more accurately be 'many'

Steve

Thank you for the history lesson . I always enjoy reading new things like this. War in any country takes the young too soon. May it not happen again. Enjoy your day of remembrance.

A lovely tribute to the many who gave their all. No matter the country or the war, the sentiment is universal and you capture it well here.

Nice poem! I love how real this poem is. You describe an issue of the past and present it in a way that makes it seem current. You make the reader care for the soldiers and you incorporate rhyme into your poem. Well done!
