At Hennymoor Farm
In a field rarely seen
A young schoolboy witnesses
The end of so many dreams
As the Wellington they flew
Fell horribly from the sky
Navigation or lack of fuel
May have been the reasons why
Some of Canada’s bravest were lost
On that August summer’s night
Training to protect our island
As Fascism this world did fight
Willis, Lowell, James
Walter and John Lee
Heroes to our island
Forever you will be
And the only way we can say it
As the moment is now long gone
Is with a fitting memorial
So your names
Will eternally live on
Craig Griffin In tribute to the Canadian crew of HE821
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning we will remember
them. - Laurence
Binyon
