Lest We Forget

[azhure]

Ode of Remembrance

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

I saw the Tiger Moth flyby, and watched them slide into Missing Man just as they approached the War Memorial.

This year was the first time in a long time that I missed visiting the vigil and the Tobruk Memorial. But they remain unforgotten.
