1st July 1916
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
I definitely wasn’t expecting to get anything related to the Normandy invasion. And the shop owner’s father was part of the 82nd Airborne that was dropped in on the peninsula that morning. The owner never talked about how he got this piece.
