Navy.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old

The safety and honour of your country come first, always and every time. The safety and honour of the men you command comes next, always and every time. Your own safety and well being comes last, always and every time.

- From an engraving in Chetwood Hall at the Indian Military Academy, Dehra Dun.  Attributed as a quotation from Lord Chetwood.
