#CGDuties #RemembranceSunday

11/11/12 10:00-12:00
Eight Falmouth Team members attended the remembrance parade in Falmouth this year. The team marched alongside our colleagues in other emergency and armed services as well as youth groups to the war memorial in Kimberly Park for the service.
A good turn out from all this year.
A privilege to take part in such an important event.

“They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

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.”
