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.

The pics show a memorial on the Isle of Portland, taken this evening at sunset, after a paddle. The quarries of the Isle of Portland are the source of stone for most Commonwealth war graves, located around the world.
