Lest We Forget Rockwood remembers with ceremony IN FLANDERS FIELDS: Bridget Edwards read Lieutenant Colonel John McCraes poem, at the Remembrance Day Service in Rockwood last Satur- day. Her father, Robert, spoke about remembering the lives of the fallen, such as his two great uncles named on the cenotaph. - Rebecca Ring Photo By Rebecca Ring Guelph/Eramosa honoured its fallen in a Remembrance Day Service at the cenotaph in Rockwood last Saturday, November 3. The ceremony was held a week before Re- membrance Day so that the Guelph Pipe Band and Royal Canadian Legion members from the Acton and Guelph branches could take part, as they will be participating in those municipalities ser- vices on November 11. The ceremony began as participants marched from the post office on Guelph St. to the Soldiers Memo- rial Cenotaph on Main St. Parade Marshall Bill Smith called the parade to begin and the Guelph Pipe Band led the way. It assembled at the Cenotaph, where army cadets from the Welling- ton Regiment stood sentry. Councillor John Scott, the Master of Ceremonies, led the crowd in singing O Can- ada. He then read the Act of Remembrance. Canadian Forces Lieutenant Chris Pat- terson piped the Last Post as air cadets from 121 Red Arrow Squadron lowered the flags. Two minutes of silence followed, where ev- eryone had an opportunity to remember those who fought and are fighting in the name of freedom. Lt. Patterson played La- ment, then Reveille, as the cadets raised the flags. Rev- erend Lynne Bandy, of the Rockwood and Stone United Church, said a prayer of thanks for all those who gave their lives in war, all those who returned and all those who stayed home waiting and praying. She prayed for help for everyone to re- member, Lest we forget. She prayed for new paths of justice and love and for God to show us Your way. Bridget Edwards, a young girl whose great-great un- cles names are engraved on the Cenotaph, read In Flan- ders Fields by Lt. Colonel John McCrae. People representing a va- riety of groups and families then laid wreaths of remem- brance at the foot of the cenotaph. First was MP Mike Chong, then MPP Ted Ar- nott, and then Mayor Chris White. Also laying wreaths were members of the Royal Canadian Legion and Ladies Auxiliary, Constable Darlene Kieswetter RCMP, Deputy Fire Chief Dan Hitchcock, Lions Club president Ken McNabb, Master Bombar- dier Dennis Bingham, John Bouwmeester, and mem- bers of Scouts, Guides and Brownies. Finally, families and friends of war vets and those who fell. Robert Edwards, Bridg- ets father, was the keynote speaker. He remembered how he was encouraged by his father to memorize the poem In Flanders Fields and how happy he is now to hear his own daughter read it. A new generation of Canadians is remembering the sacrifices of those who came before us, he said, Because of these sacrifices, I have been lucky enough to never have known war first hand and I hope this will remain true for my children. He read from the Dept. of National Defense Personnel Selection Record of his great uncle Continued on Page 17
