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

I'm not sure is it from the hoard but it comes from Latvia. I quess it is hard to find a better example.
Yes there was a box found last year all in this condition , still warapped in all their protective wax wrappings etc , the box was probably buried during the Soviet retreat in 1941 !
