They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

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.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.

-Exerpt of "For the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon

It did start 102 years and 3 months ago, I was just rounding it to 102 years ago. No need to be so anal about it.

Not many people truly realize the Clones own horrors, they may have look like adults but they were just physical adults but they really just kids.

Terrible think about. These Clones deserve lot of respect.

It was the first book in Karren Travis' series, Star wars Republic Commando: Hard Contact. The particular point in the story you are thinking of is when Etain feels a the mind of clone Commando Darman, and stumbles upon his frightened mind. I believe she even mentions something about how horrific it is to contemplate the mental age of all the clones... Or something like that.

Yes, that is where it's from. I'm not sure Darman was frightened though. Also, they don't really have a conventional past, but most of them have no future other that what you see in this picture.

How long was the clone wars 4 or 3 years? Because some says it was 3 years, while others say it was 4...
