​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.
