Inscriptions

No! People will not forget the fighting, When falling beneath the whistling lead You saw above you The beloved oval of her face. As the lips will not forget the moisture, When having collected his last reserves of strength The soldier raised himself up and avidly drank His salvation from this life-saving flask. They will not forget the oversized Grey service coat, or her blue eyes. No, no! Nurses, sisters of soldiers’ glory, Russia will not forget you!
