A Rememberance for Rememberance Day 2025

 "Nevermore shall I see the Sun, for I fell to a German's gun. "  -- Joseph Kilna Mackenzie, "Sgt Mackenzie." (2000.) 

(it was a lament written to honor his great-grandfather, who was killed in WW1.)

On the Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month of 1918 all fighting on the European Western Front ceased, bringing a final halt to a war which had been fought on battlefields around the world since 1914.
