Bravest Sons of India – Neuve-Chapelle, 1915.
(Linking Pin Sonnet – Dr. Joseph Spence Sr. Style)
India’s sons marched where guns roared in flame,
Flame lit their path as the Lahore men onward pressed,
Pressed with the Meerut through wire none could tame,
Tamed only by hearts in brave Garhwal dressed.
Dressed for the storm, Gurkha steel cut the way,
Way through the fire where the Kaiser’s men stood,
Stood firm for the flag in that Flanders day,
Day paid in blood for the world’s greater good.
Good men they were, yet no grave bears their name,
Name clearly carved instead on memorial white,
White stone in France tells the tale of their fame,
Famed in the East, now in every nations’ sight.
Sight holds their valor where red poppies still sway,
Swayed by the winds, they march with us today.

Summer is the perfect time to explore
and visit Miss Lenore from Lahore
when you come ashore
To Saint Livermore
Check into the hotel Montefiore
If you want to score
with Lenore from Lahore.
Just knock on her door
She will make you roar and sore
And cry for more
Historian writes that after the mongols left lahore khokhar and gabru plundered the rest of the city.

Wo tab bhi loot maar kartay thay aur ab bhi kartay hain
Na yasir shami kuch bolta hai na Iqrar-ul-Hassan.
Khuda da wasta goli Kha
Khuda da wasta teka Lwa
Zafar Shah apna ilaj Karva.
Once the job has been defined health and safety can be addressed by carrying out a risk assessment.
Contractors also have responsibilities for preparing risk assessments. Their risk assessment should fit in
with the clients and provide complimentary information. Contractors will also need information from the
client about the job, the state of plant, etc. when preparing their assessment.
Clearly health and safety needs to be managed effectively throughout the project. Client and contractor
need to co-ordinate their activities through effective communication and close co-operation to ensure
that all risks associated with the job are covered.
