HIGHETT RSL
Commemorating
60th Year Anniversary
World War II, ending in 1945
To those who served and to those
who paid the supreme sacrifice
" We will remember them"
Plaque 2:
They shall not grow old . . .
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.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn,
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
O.L.Binyon (from For The Fallen)
