Lest We Forget

 

Inscription in Proximity

Columbarium :

Sawtell Memorial Park

We mourn them here - Our dreaming dead.
In this quiet hallowed place to heroes dedicate.

As once they loved all this - warm sands - sea breeze, tall trees and distant hills, 
The Magpies glory in the early morn -  we chose this spot.

We took our memories and placed them here, and planted trees, like memories evergreen
To thrive and grow more cherished with the years.
Speak quietly here - tread soft.  The men who loved these sands dream on.
The blessed peace for which they fought is theirs in this tree - ringed, green lovely spot.
