It's from a poem by Laurence Binion called "For the Fallen". Binion was born in Lancaster

Sorry, should be Laurence Binyon.

It should be:
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.

This is the exhortation of the Royal British Legion.

TheWinner

(ps brokenbank is correct, taken from: For the Fallen).

brokenbank

Who is an ex regular serviceman and member of the British legion, so knows his exhortations.

TheWinner

me too!

TheWinner

Actually, only half and half on that one.

Question Author

Sorry but you're barking up the wrong tree. The quote from the poem by Laurence Binyon is used at the start of a book by a Scottish writer. I'm looking for the name of the book and the name of the writer. Thanks for replying all the same, Brokenbank and The Winner
