verse found in the pocket of the soldier dead at Gallipoli:

"_We_ saw the powers of darkness put to flight,
_We_ saw the morning break."

Crushed and glorified beyond all generations of the planet, war stories
prick this generation like family records. It is from us of to-day that
the load is lifted. We have weathered the heaviness of the night; to us
"Joy cometh in the morning."
