A solitary bugler plays “The Last Post” and then a poem is recited, popularly called ‘Lest we forget.” I’m not sure whether that is the real name of the poem. I’m wondering whether the poet was influenced by the Jewish prayer you quoted.<BR/><BR/>Here’s a sound clip of the bugle call: http://www.awm.gov.au/commemoration/last_post.htm<BR/><BR/>Then the poem is recited: <BR/><BR/>They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:<BR/>Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.<BR/>At the going down of the sun and in the morning,<BR/>We will remember them.<BR/><BR/>At the end the people gathered say: ‘Lest we forget.’<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry for your loss and I hope memories will be a source of comfort for you.parlancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175843064324380048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908003946850783762.post-52224016088436600692007-10-08T21:08:00.000-08:002007-10-08T21:08:00.000-08:00but why? - thank you for visiting and de-lurking (...but why? - thank you for visiting and de-lurking (now I can visit you!).
