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._ --_Laurence Binyon_ Contents.
