thought of war and of soldiers who fel
in battle is brought forcibly to the minds

remains rest on the foothill of the noun
tain, but very few of the many people
who gather at this sacred place on Me-
moIial day know the names of those who
fought and fell in battle or of survivors
who since the conflict have gone to Their
rest. Through the kindness of the Sec
