The Exhortation

 

"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".

 

The Silence

 

Kohima Epitaph

"When you go home tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow we gave our today!"
