Excerpt from One Hundred of the Best Poems on the European War, Vol. 2
Road in France and a long retreat (our backs to Berlin and the German lines!) But we owned not - knew not-the word defeat (through a night's long vigil the moon still shines!) A road in Belgium - the goal - Berlin (oh! Alien lands and the roads they wind!) In France and in Belgium they gather us in (the fallen ones that we left behind).
An open space, and the guns ahead, (charge! In the good old British style!)
