DEDICATION
Reading edition
To the Unfading Memory of the OFFICERS, NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS, AND MEN OF THE REGIMENT WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES DURING THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918.
“I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above, Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love; The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best; The love that never falters, the love that pays the price, The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.” —(Ode to Duty, by the late Sir Cecil Spring Rice, G.C.M.G., G.C.V.O.)
