Although the Regiment is the backbone of
this site, the individuals, their experiences and bravery in
the face of adversity that no human should ever be subjected
to, is what I really wish to portray. The feats of that generation
were nothing short of incredible. Their efforts and endurance
are, quite simply, the reason we live as we do today and I strongly
believe that their sacrifice should never be forgotten or taken
for granted. The famous words from the poem "For the Fallen"
by Laurence Binyon (1914) say it all:
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.
