THE DEATHLESS N.Z. DIVISION.

(Anzac April 25th, 1915—Le Quesnay Nov. 4th, 1018).

There's a name that shall live for ever, Just as long as the world shall last; The deathless New Zealand division With its glorious deeds of the past, From the moment they landed at Anzac, Till Turkey succumbed 'neath the crush They have finished a glorious record, ,When Le Quesnay they took with a rush.

They have fought on all fronts for the

Empire In the struggle for freedom's great

cause; They have given their splendid young manhood Tn upholding humanity's laws. Side by side they have stood with their

brothers, They who answered the Motherland's

call To f h t in the great cause of justice And settle it once and for all.

Aye Gona of our oivn dear New Zealand, That isiand you loved, oh, so well, Of your glorious deeds and achieve-

ments, I>ct future historians toll. For you've given a glorious lustre You've left us »our deathless name, And added to dear New Zealand Undying, imperishable fame. There are those you will never return to us Til! the Last Post ?onnds a?ain, Who fell in n far o(T distant land Or lie 'neatli the watery main. There are those we shall welcome gladly And shall know as the tale they tell, How their glorious eornrade3 left behind Tn the struggle for freedom fell.

fiod nrant it mnv live for ever

Whilst life on this earth shall lart, The deathless Mew Zealand division With its clorious deeds of the past. And tho' there be hearts that are breaking, This thought eases sorrow and pain we know at the final awakening We shall meet with our heroes nsrain. -W.J.E.
