An era has passed on to eternal glory. Those of us who remember and appreciate will never, ever forget.

Godspeed, Mr. Ross, and thank you very much for your service to the Allies during "the war to end all wars". I salute you, sir.

"And the band plays Waltzing Matilda
And the old men still answer the call
But year after year their numbers get fewer
Some day no one will march there at all."

RIP.
