Army.ca's Fallen Comrades

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

We cannot afford to be idle, and though weaker than our opponents in men and military equipments, must endeavor to harass if we cannot destroy them

- General Robert E. Lee, September 1862, in a letter to President Jefferson Davies.
