Kiwi's may not be able to celebrate Anzac day this year but they can help by Lining Poppy poster on The streets and in their Window. For the first time in history Anzac Day dawn ceremonies will not be taking place this April 25, due to Covid-19 restrictions. As a way to pay respects, Kiwis are being urged to "never forget" from inside their bubbles by placing images of poppies in their windows, including a special edition poster from Herald artist and cartoonist Rod Emmerson . New Zealanders are also being asked to unite at 6am on Saturday at their letterboxes, front doors and even their living rooms. Veterans are encouraged to wear their medals on Anzac Day just as they would for official public Anzac Day gatherings. /arc-anglerfish-syd-prod-nzme.s3.amazonaws.com/public/VC3AIPZZ7NFCHLQTM4PGWVYXCQ.jpg)
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
ReplyDeleteBetween the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
