Abstract
Remembrance Day service 2025 at the Gamlingay village War Memorial, Cambridge, UK
Author: David Blyth (SA Navy Ret)
With veterans scattered, we appear at Remembrance Day services at many services across the globe.
In these often remote communities we pay our respects to the fallen.
We also display our medals among foreign peoples, some wearing their own nations' service medals. Many are curious and ask about the medals and appreciate answers.
Importantly, the youth are present to join in the commemoration and learn of the history.
"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"
Ode of Remembrance, Laurence Binyon, 1914.
