Remember The Fallen

It was a cold grey morning when the guns finally fell silent over the fields of Europe, That day was November the 11th 1919 the day that horror of world war one ended.


Brave men on all sides fell in pointless battles in a war where honour still counted and true courage was shown by all men who fought, Do not just think about the British, American or the brave French who fought to save there home land but the Troops of Germany, Austria and Russia, every man that fought for his country.

The war was like none seen before, it was the true horror of industrial war but every man done his duty and fought with Honour for his land. Respect the fallen for there bravery paved the way for our society.

Team DM wish to show our support for the poppy foundation and for all the men that died in the atrocious and pointless war that became know as the Great War

A poem By Wilfred Owen
 
War broke: and now the Winter of the world
With perishing great darkness closes in.
The foul tornado, centred at Berlin,
Is over all the width of Europe whirled,
Rending the sails of progress. Rent or furled
Are all Art's ensigns. Verse wails. Now begin
Famines of thought and feeling. Love's wine's thin.
The grain of human Autumn rots, down-hurled.


For after Spring had bloomed in early Greece,
And Summer blazed her glory out with Rome,
An Autumn softly fell, a harvest home,
A slow grand age, and rich with all increase.
But now, for us, wild Winter, and the need
Of sowings for new Spring, and blood for seed.
