Lest We Forget

about

Article in the Daily Gazette. November 2010.

A World War I soldier who was shot dead for cowardice but pardoned 90 years later will be formally honoured on a war memorial.

The name of the Private will be revealed at 11 minutes past 11 in a special service to be held on Thursday.

The man was among 300 soldiers to receive posthumous pardons last year...

The soldier's 94-year-old great niece said the service for her great uncle was "the icing on the cake".

lyrics

Lest we forget
All the pain and regret
They did not grow old
Like those that were left
At the setting of sun
And the breaking of dawn
Let our minds wander back
To those times so forlorn

Lest we forget
All the pain and regret
A clashing of sides
A losing of lives
Let us hope from now on
No more nations collide
It's important no more
Come along for the ride
