"Borrowed" from an article by LIBERTARIAN on the Swansea site (with thanks) as it is so relevant...... It's Remembrance Day tomorrow,but Club's playing today are holding a minute's silence to honour the memory of the brave soldiers who gave their lives so that we can pursue ours. It would seem appropriate then to once again reproduce part of Robert Binyon's epic poem --- "For the Fallen". "For the Fallen", by Robert Laurence Binyon, (1869-1945). "They went with songs to the battle,they were young, Straight of limb,true of eye,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". If this doesn't put all the mindless,petty squabbles that infect this,and other Forums,into perspective,then I don't know what does.
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 Every day around 5pm at all Returned Service League clubs down here that is played - at our club all the lights go out at 5 all TV's are off all machines are silenced and everyone stands and faces West and looks at a plaque on the wall that is lit with a picture of the eternal flame - the last line is repeated by all patrons
