A group of first world war soldiers pose for the camera of R.H. Stevens
of Abergavenny. The date of the picture is June 1915.
Looking
at the picture - taken on a quiet summer's day in the Welsh borders
over a century ago, one wonders how many made it through the coming
months and years of slaughter.
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.
