Armistice Day 2023 at the War Memorial in Broad Street, Stamford, Lincolnshire
Transcript
00:00 say a final blessing. Duty called and I went to war, though I'd never fired a gun
00:08 before. I paid the price for your new day as all my dreams were blown away.
00:18 Remember me, we all stood true as whistles blew and faced the shell and
00:25 stench of hell. Now battle was done, there is no sound, our bones decayed beneath
00:36 the ground. We cannot see or smell or hear, there is no death or hope or fear.
00:49 Remember me, once we like you would laugh and talk and run and walk and do the
00:56 things that you all do. But now we lie in rows so neat beneath the soil, beneath
01:05 your feet. Remember me in mud and gore and the blood of war, we fought and fell
01:15 and move no more. Remember me, I am not dead, I'm just a voice within your head.
