As struck the hour on April one
of '17, the German lines
were breach'd: an Anglo-Irish doughboy
cross'd a field awash in mines
to storm a nest of German guns,
destroying it and sev'ral Huns.
This tommy trekk'd to diff'rent tunes.
(He died that ev'ning from his wounds.)
Five o'clock / Clive O'Fahque
