"And they who for their country die shall fill an honored grave, for glory lights the soldier's tomb, and beauty weeps the brave." (Joseph Drake) ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ BRITISH ARMY Birth Town: South East London Lance Corporal Service #4741780 Regiment: York And Lancaster Regiment Regiment 2: Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders WO 304/15 Place of Death: Middle East Killed In Action "These heroes are dead. They died for liberty - they died for us. They are at rest. They may or may not sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless Place of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars - they are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment for soldiers living and dead: cheers for the living; tears for the dead." ~Robert G. Ingersoll
