Remembrance
When you go home, tell them of us and say,
For their tomorrow, we gave our today
- John Maxwell Edmonds (1875-1958)
Thought to have been inspired by the Simonides of Ceos (556-468 BC) who wrote the epitaph for memorial to the Battle of Thermopylae:
Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by
That here, faithful to their laws, we lie
