Above are the official photos released by the CF when these three men were killed. These photos are lifted from impromptu photos taken by friends. They are low-resolution images, which become extremely blurry if I try to magnify them.
It was only when we came to Kandahar, and our dying became more frequent and predictable, that the CF began taking the formal, high-resolution pictures of our soldiers that appear on the following pages.
That is the picture I absolutely did not want to have taken of me.

FOR THE FALLEN
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
