heroic devotion and self-sacrihce, bril-
liant achievements that marked the
whole course of the war of 81, Never

uniforms. the unbeatable infantry, the
unconquerable cavalry the VIA
charge, the roar of battle and at times

ans, who glory In the days OF the past
who hung at our fathers knees eager
10 gather the story of that war VIII
ALWAYS remember the past as well as
