Our Allies
By Bob Scott
When Britain sounded its Bugle Call
With a serious announcement to make
War against Germany had been declared!
Before the vibrations of the Bugle had ended
_____________________________________
Allied Forces across the World pledged
To join the fight for Freedom - Democracy
That was the rightful claim for all
____________________________________
Shoulder to Shoulder all invited to stand
In a Worldwide Parade to Capture
So we gain that Freedom and Democracy
This is the greatest Sacrifice
One could give to another
____________________________________
In what was to turn into the most grotesque War of all
These Nations gathered from across the globe
The Western Front in Europe
Belgium – France to name but a few
_________________________________________
Across Asia, Burma! Suffered greatly too
Gallipoli known as Dardanelles Campaign
The greatest disaster of that War
But our heroes took up the fight
In Death as in Life to set us - Free.

WE HONOUR EACH AND EVERY ONE! IN OUR OWN SPECIAL WAY.
