{Remembrance Day}

This University was raised by the People of Newfoundland as a Memorial to the fallen in the Great Wars 1914-1918, 1939-1945 That in freedom of learning their cause and sacrifice would not be forgotten.

Lest we forget ...

{Poppy}

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 grow,
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, though poppies grow
      In Flanders fields.

Dec 8, 1915          John McCrae
