Time has passed, but judging from Kettering and Trefeglwys War Memorials both young and old are still aware of the sacrifices made by the wartime generations — the wreaths laid by school children are re-assuring that we remember.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,

We will remember them.

R.L.Binyon from “For the Fallen”

The sun came out this morning over the War Memorial in Kettering.

The mayor read the evocative words of John Maxwell Edmonds:

When You Go Home, Tell them of Us and Say,

For Your Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today.

And still it goes on — another generation sacrificed today — how could the sun come out.
