Lost Battalion Tours - Testimonial

from Battles of the First World War Podcast

Hey Folks, Mr. Jeremy Bowles very graciously came on the podcast to share his tour experiences with Robert J Laplander with us. Jeremy is a WW1 historian and reenactor, and the journey he had in the Meuse-Argonne with Rob was so moving it simply needs to stand alone as its own mini-episode. Listen to Jeremy's story about being in the Meuse, and know that the goal of Lost Battalion Tours is to provide you with the same experience in August of 2020. So come join us! Lost Battalion Tours Mike's contact info: [email protected] Robert's contact info: [email protected] Robert's website: http://www.findingthelostbattalion.com/ Jeremy closes his experiences with the poem "We Shall Keep the Faith" by Moina Michaels, which was the moving response to LTC John McCrae's "In Flanders Fields:" Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields, Sleep sweet - to rise anew! We caught the torch you threw And holding high, we keep the Faith With All who died. We cherish, too, the poppy red That grows on fields where valor led; It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heroes never dies, But lends a lustre to the red Of the flower that blooms above the dead In Flanders Fields. And now the Torch and Poppy Red We wear in honor of our dead. Fear not that ye have died for naught; We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought In Flanders Fields.
