Op Herrick Roll of Honour

for those who gave their all their bravery and courage lives on

If you'd like to send a poem or tribute we'd be honoured to include it here They shall not grow 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... Laurence Binyon When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Your Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today The following poem was written by Violet in loving memory of her son LCpl Paul Muirhead 1 Royal Irish Regiment who was killed in Afghanistan on the 6th September 2006 We wander to your graveside, And place each flower with care, For the Son and Brother we love so dearly, Is peacefully sleeping there. If memories keep us together, Then we are never far apart, From early morn to silent night, You're always in our hearts ---
