“Stranger, go tell the Spartans we died here obedient to their commands.”
— Inscription at ThermopylaeLinger not, stranger. Shed no tear.
Go back to those who sent us here.We are the young they drafted out
To wars their folly brought about.Go tell those old men, safe in bed,
We took their orders and are dead.
Happy Remembrance Day.
Very moving selection of words for Remembrance Day. Thank you.
