V.C.
There's many a man has won the Cross Which but the few nray wear; High fame will come to such, but some Mist be denied their share; The greatest prize in human eyes Is that which is rare. Good luck to those uho gain the Cros\ 11 is their right and due, Vet 'tis no test of all the re.<t, For heroes arc not few, And many a grave holds one as brave li England only knew. There's manv a mm has given his life— ' A noble gift and free - To shield his friend unto the end When none were there to see Hut those who passed with him at last Into etemitv.
Honour to those who wear the C'ro But 'nenth a brighter sun A hero band one day shall stand When earth's brief race i- run, And shall rejoice to hear His voice: "Soldiers of God. well done!"
TOUCHSTONE, in the Daffy Mail
"What did your husband think 'if that five-guinea hat you bought last week ?" "Oh, he just rave dover it."
