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

Price was not disclosed. According to the site, the helmet was obtained from the vet who accepted Frank's surrender in Pilsen, 1945.
