We Will Remember Them

Today I watched on tv the ceremony at the Cenotaph marking the centenary of the Gallipoli campaign.  There was a reading of the famous lines 'they shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.....' and I thought I'd look up the full poem called For The Fallen by Robert Laurence Binyon.  It's a very moving poem which I'd recommend reading.  This is the stanza before the famous one:

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.
