Listen to this song by Mark Knofler (You can find the lyrics below)

We will remember them! 

On your maypole green
See the winding morris men
Angry Alfie, Bill and Ken
Waving hankies, sticks and books
All the earthen roofs


Standing at the crease
The batsman takes a look around
The boys are fielding on home ground
The steeple sharp against the blue
When I think of you


Sam and Andy
Jack and John
Charlie, Martin
Jamie, Ron
Harry, Stephen
Will and Don
Matthew, Michael


On and on


We will remember them
Remember them
Remember them


We will remember them
Remember them
Remember them


Time has slipped away
The Summer sky to Autumn yields
A haze of smoke across the fields
Let's sup and fight another round
And walk the stublbed ground


When November brings
The poppies on Remembrance Day
When the vicar comes to say
Lest we forget our sons


We will remember them
Remember them
Remember them


We will remember them
Remember them
Remember them
