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.

During the First World War, Queen Mary (26 May 1867 – 24 March 1953) paid her respects in 1916 at local memorial shrines in East London.
The ‘Roll of Honour’ (seen in the second photograph) listed over 100 men from around this street in Hackney who had enlisted.

Troops of the West Indies Regiment in camp on Albert-Amiens Road, September 1916.
Men of the British West Indies Regiment (BWIR) creating dugouts in Palestine.
...in Palestine.
But I digress
West Indian men from Jamaica, Trinidad and Barbados serving in the British Navy, in the Fleet Auxiliary, July 1917.
People love to say never forget but those same people forget all the time. We however won't forget that we were not equal, that black and brown bodies were largely used as cooks and cleaners and for doing labour-intensive tasks like digging trenches while out in the open at risk of enemy fire.
Our men only saw combat when the losses of white soldiers were too many and they were needed to make up numbers. And even when they did well, were instrumental in victories, it was largely overlooked or worse, their achievements credited to their white comrades and commanders. Soldiers of the BWIR did not rise higher than the rank of Sergeant & would gain honours and recognition decades later when many had already passed.
I'm honoured by their service and sacrifice, that they served well despite all that was against them and I certainly won't forget it.

Fading sun on tired leaves,
one falls, it’s duty done,
a cemetery of soldiers.

Poppies
Lest we forget.
These hand made poppies were each added to the memorial on the anniversary of the death of the serviceman they commemorate.
Poppy day, more correctly Remembrance Day seems to cause some controversy these days. Most recently I saw that someone had said they thought it was glorifying war. What poppycock.
Maybe I should say before continuing that I was born after World War 2. Like…

RICHARD KITCHENER (CARROTHERS) JOHNSON - CLAN CARRUTHERS CCIS
RICHARD KITCHENER “KIT” JOHNSON
Richard Kitchener (Kit) and Jessie Johnston were murdered 33 years ago today as a result of the Enniskillen Poppy Day Massacre committed by PIRA terrorists on 8th November 1987. Kit was aged 71 years and Jessie 61 years at the point they were murdered.
They were described as pillars of society at their funeral service and that was a perfect summary of those two…
