Lest We Forget ... in rememberance on Veteran's day


Rita Hayworth sports a “V” for victory, supporting the troops during WW2

From the words of   Laurence Binyon . . .

They shall grow not old
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.

From Laurence Binyon's poem For the Fallen, written in September 1914  (The full poem, For the Fallen, is printed in both Minds at War and Out of the Dark. Binyon's poem Now in thy Splendour is also printed in Minds at War.)
