Milnet.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old



Ubique means that warnin' grunt
The perished linesman knows,
When o'er his strung and sufferin' front
The shrapnel sprays his foes,
And when the firin' dies away
The husky whisper runs
from lips that haven't drunk all day
"The guns, thanks God, the guns

- Rudyard Kipling
