About the memorial: On National Trust Property: "Pentire Point, as part of Pentire Farm (147ha), was acquired through public subscription in 1936. The poet Laurence Binyon wrote 'For the Fallen' while visiting Pentire in 1914, which is marked by a plaque bearing the last stanza: 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."
