    War Poetry....

    1st.Army Soldier.North Africa 1943.

    He lies quiet on the desert,
    Sun bronzed legs shot through with lead;
    The battle sounds still linger,
    But he does not hear¬ he's dead.

    He was no prudent soldier,
    Chose life's exit not with care
    Valourous indeed he was
    But 8th.Army were not there.

    His blood flows just as steady,
    His sharp wound cut as deep,
    the sand soaked just as crimson,
    By booted shattered feet.

    But Praise's voice is muted,
    Seek no record of his fame_
    The poor boy died at Medjez
    And not at Alamein.

    W.G.Holloway. (From a bitter remark by 1st.Army soldier, "you are no bloody hero unless you've been in the Monty mob!")(8th.Army)
