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
Hi Paul
Yes in hindsight perhaps I should have done, maybe next time !
I have just booked a hotel near Albert, France for the Somme Centenary next year, might see you there!
At least 3 of us were there, something to talk about in old age ! haha
Cheers
