Navy.ca's Fallen Comrades

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

No one accuses the gunner of maudlin affection for anything except his beasts and his weapons. He serves as least three jealous gods--his horse and all its saddlery and harness; his gun, whose least detail of efficiency is more important than men's lives; and, when these have been attended to, the never-ending mystery of his art commands him.

- Rudyard Kipling
