The Exhortation
|
|
| |
The Exhortation is said at Remembrance events before the Last Post is played and the Two Minute Silence. It is also said at the beginning of every meeting of the Hailsham and District RBL Branch. The extract is from a poem written by Robert Laurence Binyon called "For the Fallen", composed in September 1914, just a few weeks after the outbreak of the First World War. |

"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."
Response: "We will remember them."
