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.

... and who are you quoting?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.

Was originally by an English poet... In Australia we say it on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to remember those that died during the war. (Regardless of country)

*sings along* (my college choir did this piece last year in rememberance of a volunteer forest fire fighter who was in the choir that was killed in a car accident.)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.

WW1 ended on 11/11/1918 apparently at 11.00 am. (Not sure about the time)
In Australia this day is called Remembrance day and at 11.00 we have a minute of silence to reflect. The poem is by an English WW1 poet named Laurence Binyon and is spoken at the beginning of Remembrance day ceremonies to honour the dead.
I thought it fitting to post due to the world that Enigma is based on.
*When this "celebration" happens every year of your life you kinda forget that other countries might not do the same thing... Sorry for any confusion
