Remembrance Day

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, John McCrae, May 1915

‘Everyone should be so proud of what you’ve done for our country. The risks you took were amazing. Coming out of the trenches would have been so frightening. Thank you.’

A year 8 pupil Wadebridge School

The Soldier

If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field, that is forever England…… Rupert Brooke 1915

‘World War 1 must have been awful, I can’t even imagine. After finding out 1 million British soldiers were killed, I remembered how important Remembrance Day is’

A year 8 pupil Wadebridge School

‘It must have been sad leaving home, your family must have been heartbroken, it was a hard decision to go to war, you were brave to take it’ A year 7 pupil Wadebridge School

‘The sacrifice you made is incredible, I hope people would take your courage on board. Thank you.’ A year 8 pupil Wadebridge School

‘Well, I had no idea World War 1 was this rough, I didn’t realise it only started 100 years ago and ended at 11 o’clock on the 11th November.’
