Too many did we lose, too many did we bleed;
But they cared not for their own need

Tear soaked letters did their families receive;
Written a few hours before battle-eve

Each letter has a story to tell, each word worth its weight in gold;
O how lucky they are, if only they could be told

Because the son came later, after a lag;
Enclosed in a coffin, draped in the Flag

For it is the least we can do for those who died;
With the flag in the mind, and the rifle by their side

Bodies battered and minds shattered;
They carried on because Victory mattered ..
