22 Senior Senior I ve been Lucky I know Being seventeen, A child at heart, I seldom realize To stop and take part. Curfews that bother, An assignment is due, Or the two test questions That I really never knew. I guess you can see, My problems lack weight. So with reference to war, It s hard to relate. I ve been lucky I know, To have been spared the cost, Of a headline saying That my sister was lost. Or to be the little boy, Whose tears did shed. When he wished for his Dad, But received a flag instead. Ginny Hsiang Surrey, BC R.E. Mountain Secondary School Langley Br. #021 Colour Poster Affiche en couleur Or to the father, Who sits and tries not to cry, While he thinks of his son, And that he couldn t say goodbye. I guess it s all those things, That should come to mind, When I think of just what, November 11 signifies. It s all the families, Of those who were lost Of the families of those, Still fighting the cause.

23 First Place Première Place Light in the darkness World War II, Italy. The war had been underway for some time now. All of us had grown used to the countless sleepless nights, the never- ending shifts. We could do this forever, it seemed. Our movements were mechanical, like that of an unfeeling robot. Our eyes were open but did not see. If we had let ourselves absorb the horrors of the aftermath on the battlefield, we couldn t have done the job. People to this day still don t really know what it was like; don t really realize what we did. We were soldiers just like the men, carrying bandages to heal instead of guns to kill. That was my life, the life of a military nurse. I was stationed at a nearby hospital in Cicely, Italy, a couple of hours away from the battlefield. Our mission did not have an enemy; we were not fighting for a team, or a specific victory. Our mission was to fight to save lives, not to kill other men. Whether the patients were German, Italian, or even American, it made no difference to us. Our priority was to get the men home, wherever that may have been in the world. Routine days were grueling, never an easy- going pace. Everyday held new miseries: another cringing injury, or a tortured scream from the surgery table that would keep me and other staff members awake at night. Some people might have thought why we were even doing what we did, why we would put ourselves through daily extra stress and sadness. But the question I asked myself was, if not I, then who else? Someone had to pick up the pieces of what had been damaged; in this case it was the men. At the end of all the chaos, the spilled blood, and broken bones, there had to be someone to try and fix the damage. That thought was what kept me in that hospital. Someone had to take that responsibility; the world had to move on, and the least I could do was step up to that plate. Trying to not get emotionally compromised was the everyday challenge as a nurse. The patients we were nursing were men, men like our husbands, sons, and fathers. They were just broken souls trying to get home. We, as nurses, had to provide a means for them to escape their harsh reality, even if just for a moment. Something that I only realized after the war was that amidst all the destruction, death, pain and heartache, we gave the wounded soldier something even better than a victory; we gave them peace. That peace we gave them healed more than a bandage, or stitches; it healed their souls. War kills more than just the physical bodies of men; it also destroys their innocent souls, day by day. My experience in war, and that of every other, must stay alive. It must stay alive to prove that even in the bleakest of times, hope exists.

25 Second Place Deuxième Place Remembrance Day He looks in the spotless mirror, and gathers his thoughts before he puts on his uniform. It s that time of year again: November 11 th, Remembrance Day. Each Remembrance Day progressively comes faster than the previous. His frail hands reach down as he grasps the door knob. With little strength, he manages to pull the door open. He finds that his wife, Annette, has graciously laid his uniform on the bed. His uniform rests on a white hanger, ironed and immaculate; not one strand of hair, not one spec of lint, or any sign of imperfection can be seen. In the corner of his eye, he can see a poppy pin sitting on the night table. He walks out of the bedroom once dressed in his crisp uniform, with the poppy pinned next to the crest on his blazer, and heads off to the Remembrance Day Ceremony with his wife. As they walk around the streets of Ottawa, they pass several businesses that have big signs on the front door, notifying the public that they will be closed to honour Canadian veterans, those who are currently serving in the military, and those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Every flag in the city, lowered to half-mast, in memory of those who fought for our country, but didn t make it back home. He lowered his head, trying to hide his saddened face, and the tears that began to form in both his eyes. As the veterans gather on Elgin Street, he shifts from foot to foot, fighting back tears and the memories of war that come along with them. He glances to the right, studies each of his fellow comrades who fought with him during the Battle of Ortana, the bloodiest battle of the Italian Campaign, and then to the left remembering those who were lucky enough to survive. He looks at David, one of his closest friends during the campaign, how his is sitting in a wheelchair, almost paralyzed, and fighting for every breath. He turned to Danni and noticed the sunglasses on his face. Danni, one of the fortunate soldiers, lost his sight due to being too close to bombs, but he survived the many bomb attacks, unlike many of the fallen soldiers that will be honoured today. He remembers the countless days and nights that were spent besides these men, and many more, on the battlefield and in the compounds. The memories of war have aged over decades, but the two inch battle scar that was left on his face, remains forever. A dozen children read poems and other works of literature in memory of those who were involved in fighting for our country. Family members share their stories of their late husbands, uncles, and brothers. The ceremony continues with many sincere dedications. The sound of the trumpet fills the silent air. Everyone immediately removes their hat, bows their head, and places their right hand on their chest, next to their poppy, in complete silence. The only sound that can be heard is the sound of the red and whites flags blowing with the wind. He recalls the tears that were shed as he left his family, his friends, his closest possessions, and the safety and warmth of his home, as his left for war. He remembers the sound of the many machine guns that were fired by the Germans hiding behind stone barricades. The many bitter, lonely nights when he was so fearful of death, that sleep was not a priority. The eerie look on the faces of his fellow soldiers, as they were shot. The pounding in his chest after a bomb exploded in a neighbouring house. The sound of the rubble under his feet as he walked through the town between the rows of demolished houses. The dead man lying in the center of the Town Square, headless, is still fresh in his memory. The shot he fired on Christmas Day that killed an enemy. The buzzing sound of the trumpet once again breaks the silence and brings him back to reality. Before he realizes, the ceremony is over, but the memories from 1943 are still ringing in his head. His knees become weak, and he s trying to let go of the reminiscence of World War II, but it forever lingers in his mind. He feels something warm grasp his right hand. His breathing slows, as he finds his balance, and opens his eyes. He looks up and sees a boy, no older than sixteen, holding his hand. The boy says a heartfelt, thank you, and bows his head. The tears well up in his eyes, because this is why he is proud to have served Canada in World War II in the Battle of Ortana.

Remember the sacrifices that the heroes gave As time recedes and memories fade. With saddened hearts and tears they cried, They dug the graves for those that died. Through thunderous bombs and machine gun fire, Blood stained sand from wounds so dire. Seas turned red and skies to grey, Forward they marched on the beach that day. They fought for freedom in the mud and sand Leaving brave men dying in the treacherous land I pray their sacrifices are not in vain, For they ve given their lives for all to gain, How much more must they give, So in peace, we all may live?

27 First Place Première Place A Field of Red A bone jarring shudder passed through the bomber, which rapidly began to fall from the skies over occupied Europe. Smoke quickly filled the cabin as three shrill rings of an alarm echoed through the plane. My eyes watered as I choked on the acrid fumes pouring in from the four monstrous engines throughout the plane. Groping for a parachute as the plane s deafening engines died, I stumbled through the cabin towards the already open bomb bay, not hesitating to jump out of it. Air whistled by, as dazzling flashes of gunfire filled the night around me. With a jolt, I pulled the cord and my parachute opened. I bit my tongue as the ground hit me, a shot of pain bolting up my legs. Sitting up, I found myself in a field of flowers of poppies. Then, the night faded into silence. I sat there in the field of red, dazed, for what seemed like hours. The sound of dogs barking and harsh voices speaking in German accompanied dawns first light, and fear wormed it s way into my soul. I had no idea what might happen in the next few minutes, and was unsure whether or not I would survive the next day. The barking grew louder as the Nazi soldiers drew near. I wake up screaming my name, rank, and serial number. I m in my bed, at 2:30 AM on November 11th. It s been over 70 years since the war ended and I was released from the prison camp. In a few hours I ll be in uniform, standing at attention at a Remembrance Day ceremony. The dreams happen at this time every year, every time Remembrance Day draws near. Every time people wear poppies, I m reminded of that night when I felt so scared- and when my active part in the war ended. The night I lay in the field of red. I stand erect in my uniform, people milling restlessly around me. Tears stain other veterans eyes as a choir of children sing In Flanders Fields. All of the people around me wear poppies, because of what they symbolize. To some, like me, they symbolize personal experiences. For others, they are a way of never forgetting loved ones. But to all, wearing a poppy is a special way of showing respect for those who fought and died to make our country what it is today. As the children finish singing, I stand just a little bit taller, feeling proud to have fought for Canada.

29 Second Place Deuxième Place Forever Remembered Grampy Cole held the tiny hand of five year old Jane as they strolled through the woods on an early November afternoon. The rotting leaves crunched beneath their feet. Jane s eyes widened as she looked up to her grandfather when he stopped abruptly. He signaled to the lady walking toward them and introduced her to Jane. Irene, here, was the wife of my best friend John, he explained while kneeling to be eye level with Jane. He grabbed both of her hands and quietly asked have I ever told you about John? Jane shook her head with a puzzled expression on her face. Grampy Cole stood up, wiped the dirt off his pants, and took her hand once more. They continued walking down the narrow path with the sun peaking in between the gaps in the trees. Let me tell you about this wonderful man I grew up with, Grampy Cole began. He looked over at Irene, who was walking beside Jane, and smiled. Back in 41, our country was smack in the middle of World War II. John and I were carefree nineteen year olds who weren t smart when it came to politics, and quite frankly, war. We were young, naïve and quite unaware of the world around us. That was until that day in early summer when John was drafted and told he would have to leave our little town of Hansell, Ontario, for training. By the end of September, he was sent overseas to fight in that war the two of us knew almost nothing about. Grampy Cole paused to gather his thoughts, as Jane slipped her hand inside Irene s. When Jane looked up at Irene, she noticed a tear fall down Irene s cheek while she quickly wiped it away with the woolen sleeve of her jacket. Jane quietly asked, what did you do? I did what any wife had to do when their husband got a recruitment call; I helped him pack his bags. I made him promise to write me letters and every Friday for a year I go a letter from him. That first Friday in December 42, there was not letter. I thought it was just late, but almost a week went by and I hadn t heard from John. My heart sank because it was not like him to forget. Then, I got a knock on the door. I don t know why I answered it because I knew they were coming to offer their sympathies. A few more tears rolled down Irene s cheek as she reminisced, It s been almost 32 years since he left us, but he s with me every day. See this poppy on my jacket? I wear it in honor of John. Actually, my dear, you can have this one. I ll get a new one. Irene carefully took the poppy off her jacket and pinned it one Jane s sweater. As Jane gazed at the poppy she felt so proud to honor Grampy Cole s friend John, who did so much for Canada.

31 First Place Première Place Remembering Grandpa s War On Remembrance Day I always think of my grandfather, Peter Milner. As a young man, he fought in world war two as a navigator in a Lancaster bomber. The war was a difficult time, but my grandfather is proud to have served. My grandfather was only nineteen when he signed up at Bomber Command in the Royal Air Force and was sent to Winnipeg, Manitoba for flight training. He wanted to be a pilot but because of his love of maps and his skill in reading them, he became a navigator. When he returned to England he flew many missions over Germany. His job was difficult because concentrating through all the noise and commotion in the plane and arriving at the target at the exact time was very challenging. Those weren t the most difficult parts, though. Times got harder when fellow crewmen were killed. Grandpa narrowly avoided death when he was attacked by a German fighter plane. He was shot in the leg and wounded very badly. Not all times were bad for my grandpa. He made strong, lifelong friendships and had good times with his crew. He missed my grandmother (who worked in a drawing office) and only saw her when he was visiting on leave. They were a very young couple back then. They were married in 1948 and they are still together today. My grandpa is not comfortable with being called a hero. He says he only did what millions of others did: defend his country against the threat of Hitler s Nazis. He doesn t celebrate war, but he supports all the men and women who sacrifice themselves to defend others. He is pleased that we remember the people who died in world war one and two and all the people who are dying for their countries right now. My grandpa is proud that he served in world war two, and I am proud of him too. He doesn t believe he s a hero, but I do.
