Tomorrow is November 11th 2018. 100 years since the killing stopped on the Western Front. On a more positive note it is also 100 years since Baden Powell started the Rover Scout movement. I am proud to be part of a new Rover Scout Unit, North Riding Rover Crew, Captain Allmand's Own. Tomorrow, please attend your local Remembrance Service, take part in the silence and remember those who gave their tomorrow for our today. Including Captain Michael Allmand, VC.

'When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say,
For Your Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today.'

"They shall grow not 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."

Captain Allmand VC

Lest We Forget - Remembrance Sunday 2017

99 Years ago on 11th November at 1100hrs the guns stopped. Four long years of bloodshed had ceased. The poppy remains a symbol of hope, respect and a reminder of those who gave their lives that we might live in freedom today. The poppies grew in the churned up soil of No-man's land, reminding soldiers in the trenches that amidst death and destruction, new life could still begin. #Lestweforget
