STOUT BRITAIN
S’ • Of all nations It shall be our fate ' (or is it privilege?) To hold the valiant-crested shield Stout out against a westward-driven hate; To never yield, . And finally Too hammer home the winning wedge Of Victory. Nor shall our task be easy; Nor shall our courage fray, And though at times we dwell; • In darkness, mindful of the - night in Hell, In Britain, where , No hearts on sleeves are worn, There yet will dawn A glorious Victors’ day! - - —L/Cpl. Lindsay M. Constable.
