1. The Belize Defence Force Fallen Marker
The inscriptions on the marker are very light and hard to read in this view.
In memory of
the members of
The Belize Defence Force
who died whilst in service
They will be remembered
Names of the fallen soldiers
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.
