The Municipality of East Ferris held its Remembrance Day Ceremony at its Cenotaph, located on Hwy 94, this morning.
The 2nd Regiment RCHA from Petawawa, along with a party of 35 men and four guards marched and stood at the cenotaph.
In Flanders Fields BY John McCrae
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.
