16.01.2022 On the 11th of the 11th at 11am we will remember them. 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. For the Fallen, Laurence Binyon Photo of the 1918 Armistice Day March in Queen St, Brisbane.
