Remembrance day

[weasel]

Not sure if the ROW have November the 11th as their remembrance day, or its equivalent, but I thought it warranted a mention on a here.
A little serious for place like this maybe, but I've seen the graves in Belgium and Holland first and as a self confessed heartless bastard, I was nearly moved to tears.
Regardless of what side they fought for these guys all made the ultimate sacrifice and for that alone we owe them one hell of a debt.


"They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

"They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Lest we forget."
