The veterans of Branch 57 are grateful to all those who attend these annual ceremonies. A Soldier Went Home Today By WO S.J. Barnes, 1 R Nfld R Forty-four friends stand waiting At the gate to honour’s hall Some smile, some are stern Faces and names etched in stone Lined respectfully along the wall And behind them thousands more From earlier answered call History’s missions, conflicts, wars Soldiers who did what duty demanded Until it was their turn to fall Our country asks and we deliver Willing and proud to give our all Forty-fifth for Canada The first for us His sacrifice seems not small For those of us who are new To war’s great cost, its pall History, tales of glory Do not tell the simple story The loss of one is a loss for all A Soldier Went Home Today We will remember him.
