F.E.S.R.
 

Far East Strategic Reserve Navy Association Inc. (Australia)

Shipmates who have Crossed the Bar

The Naval Ode is Dedicated
In memory of all our Shipmates
Who have gone before,
And now rest in the bosom
Of the Great Mariner.....
---

The Naval Ode
They have no grave but the cruel sea
No flowers lay at their head
A rusting hulk is their tombstone
A'fast on the ocean bed.

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.

LEST WE FORGET

Our Condolences to the Family and Friends of those who have crossed the bar.
