College news 10th November 2017 - 'Lest we forget'

Remembrance Day 

Today staff, students & invited guests remembered  those fallen in conflicts; and especially those old boys of Lutterworth College, and its predecessors, who had given their lives in defence of our country. A special remembrance service was held at the College with respects paid on the eleventh hour. It was both a poignant and reflective event and I would like to thank both those who organised and attended. With those members of our armed forces in mind we give over the College news this week in their remembrance.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between 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.
