“AT the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them…”
In honour and remembrance of fallen soldiers, the MOTH members gather every year on July 16 at the Cenotaph on the grounds of St Peter’s Anglican Church.
The Sunset Parade took place on Monday, July 16 at 5pm, despite icy conditions, and those in attendance upheld the annual tradition as they stood to attention in a salute to the fallen soldiers, whose lives were lost in the Battle of Delville Wood in France during the first World War.
“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…” – For the Fallen, a poem by Robert Laurence Binyon.
