Lest We Forget (Remembrance Sunday)

Lest We Forget, originally uploaded by Lú_.

Every Remembrance Sunday, the 48th Highlanders of Canada — veterans, regiment, chaplains, band, and cadets — gather at the memorial at the north end of Queen's Park in Toronto for a service to remember fallen comrades from the Boer War to today.

O valiant hearts, who to your glory came
Through dust of conflict and through battle flame,
Tranquil you like, your knightly virtue proved,
Your memory hallowed in the land you loved ...

All you had hoped for, all you had you gave
To save mankind — yourself you scorned to save.


Lest we forget.


God bless the 48th!
