It was so cold

We lit candles

We tried to keep warm

Reading out the names

We reflected on the died

We meet at 6pm and it was very cold.
The names of the 100 dead soldiers were read out.
I thought about their familys, the misery they must be in and how nothing would ever bring these young men and women back.
It was very upset.
