Navy.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old

The General Order is always:
......To manoeuver in a body and on the attack.
......To maintain strict but not pettifogging discipline.
......To keep the troops constantly at the ready.
......To employ the utmost vigilance on sentry go.
......To use the bayonet on every possible occasion.
And to follow up the enemy remorselessly until he is utterly destroyed.

- Lazare Carnot (1753-1823), French revolutionary, military strategist. (First Order of the Day, 2 Feb. 1794, to army commanders.)
