He was always at the forefront of the battle
That was where he chose to be
Directing his men hither and thither
Fighting hard to ensure a victory
His courage was something that could not be doubted
It was plain for all to see
To his men it was a source of inspiration
In return they repaid him with their loyalty
Who is the manof whom I speak today?
Just one of many who led their men in war
Who were prepared to give their lives to in conflict
So that we could live in peace for ever more
He was one of the unsung heroes of the war
Whose deeds are among those that never will be known
But who contributed to the final victory
By ensuring the seeds of victory were sown
Every year in November we celebrate the anniversary
When the great war came to an end
Let us never forget those who made the sacrifice
And what it was they were fighting to defend
