‘Lest we forget’Footnote^*

* The phrase ‘lest we forget’ was originally penned by Rudyard Kipling in his 1897 ‘CitationRecessional’ poem, and is sometimes added as a post script to Laurence Binyon’s ‘For the Fallen’. ‘For the Fallen’ was written during the first months of the First World War, and published in The Times newspaper on 21st September Citation1914. The lines ‘Lest we forget’ and also ‘We shall remember them’ (from ‘For the Fallen’) are sometimes seen on war memorials and used in commemorative material on war remembrance days, especially in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
