A City Of Refuge

ANZAC DAY, 25th. APRIL.
 

 FOR THE FALLEN:

The Great War, 1914-18

And ALL WARS THAT FOLLOWED.

REMEMBERING OUR AUSTRALIAN MEN AND WOMEN.    

Poem by Robert Laurence Binyon (1869-1943), published in The Times newspaper on 21^st September 1914. (excerpt)

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.                          

Author: Robert Laurence Binyon.

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.
