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.

But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

'I do not think we can hope for any better thing now.

It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more. R. SCOTT.
Last Entry - For God's sake look after our people.'
