Thank you for your service to our country Ivan. It seems not to visit Auckland muesum today to lay a poppy near your name.

But you are not forgotten today. And we have a poppy inmour garden for you.

Lest we forget xx

To my great uncle, thank you for your service and sacrifice, rest in peace.

Lest We Forget: A Lone Pine

A lone pine stood one cloudy day
In a land so far away,
And in the breeze I heard it say:
“Lest We Forget”
For below that pine the fallen lay
Gallant sons to always stay,
In our hearts and the words we pray;
“Lest We Forget”
From the pine and beyond the bay
A seedling in soils of clay,
Grow the hope that come-what-may:
“Lest We Forget”
Above the clouds there shone a ray
To cast aside skies of grey,
As a nation vowed ever would they:
“Lest We Forget”
A Lone Pine stood one sunny day
In a land so far away,
And in the breeze I heard it say:
“Lest We Forget”
