When you go home, tell them of us and say
For your tomorrow, these gave their today.
Went the day well? We died and never knew,
But, well or ill, freedom, we died for you.

Godspeed, Mr. Babcock.
Didn’t notice that he didn’t actually see combat.But it doesn’t matter because at the tender of 16 he was prepared to sacrifice all “for King and Country”.His heart...and sense of courage...were in the right place.
