THE FORGOTTEN:

 

 

THE BATTLES DONE, THE WAR IS WON,

THEIR BONES NOW REST IN PEACE,

THEY GAVE THEIR LIVES ,

SO THE FIGHTING WOULD THEN CEASE.

 

MANY ROMA LEFT THEIR HOMES,

A SOLDIER TO BECOME,

THEY STOOD SIDE BY SIDE , BROTHERS IN ARMS,

SOME NEVER CAME BACK HOME.

 

ON THE 11TH OF NOVEMBER,

WE REMEMBER THEM EVERY YEAR,

AND AS WE LAY OUR POPPY WREATHS,

SOME STILL SHED A TEAR.

 

AS YOU LAY YOUR FLOWERS DOWN,

AND SAY YOUR SILENT PRAYERS TOO

REMEMBER THE FORGOTTEN ROMA SOLDIERS,

BECAUSE THEY ALSO DIED FOR YOU .

 

 

 

In memory of all the Roma Gypsy soldiers who fought in both world wars and gave their lives  to give us freedom…..
