The heroes of the Thin Red Line

In khaki streaks on Flander s flood.

"THE GREAT SILENCE."
(November 11th.)
Around the CenotaphWhat better, truer homage
Can we bestow on theseOur Glorious Dead
The highest with the least! By thought alone,
united,
Whilst over all, a sacred hush is spread.
Brave men! We bow in reverence to thee,
Thanking our God, Who gives usMemory.
