This day

'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.'

                        (from: For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon)

  1. Such a lovely photograph for the 11th and a very appropriate verse of Binyon's poem.
