Navy.ca's Fallen Comrades

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

A moth-eaten rag on a worm-eaten pole,
It does not look likely to a stir a man's soul,
'Tis the deeds that were done 'neath the moth-eaten rag,
When the pole was a staff, and the rag was a flag.

- Sir Edward Hamley (27 April 1824 – 12 August 1893)
