Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Friendly women
Gallons of booze

Hi,
i can remember my family members telling us about the parties in london at that time, and the feelings they had that it was all over. Most of the men and some of the women were at war,
so they looked forward to them coming home but two didnt make it. what a great day.
