"Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife! To all the sensual world proclaim, One crowded hour of glorious life Is worth an age without a name." Sir Walter Scott ( 1771-1832) In this picture, a coxswain on an unnamed battleship somewhere at war in January 1943 pipes the crew to attention over the loudspeaker just before General Quarters is sounded. Featured in the October 2009 issue of Proceedings magazine.
