Remember Me
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.
Listed below are the casualties mentioned so far. At only a few months into the war, the loss on both sides were high. When we remember, we should not only think about the people on our side, but those that at the time were the enemy. No matter what their beliefs, these men and women were somebody's husband, wife, son or daughter. The children that were affected by war were just as innocent as the children on our side. So remember them all...
