LEST WE FORGET!
As w© ploughe our way across the sea And home thoughts fill the mind, Do we ever tirink of the days that are gone And the cobbers we've left behind? Of the lessons we learnt on uattle- j scarred fields, And the ma'tes we found and lost, Of days of sorrow and days of fame, And all that our victories cost? As we gaze out on the silvery deep And watch the crested wave, Do we ever think of the men who sleep Deep down in an ocean grave? Of the harvest vile of the submarine iYrd the toll of the lurking mine, The sti'uggln .gi'im and end unseen Of the heroes who've crossed the line? — By R.C.S., in "Homeward Bound."
