Do you see, there is no colour of defeat on their faces. They are so bright! What are you doing? Weeping? No, no, don't weep. There is nothing here to be sad about. These are not the dead men, we are visiting to-day. They are living. They are heroes. These men have fought and have done their duty. To-day they are content. They are proud of what they kave done.
