LIGION of the LOST.
(Finnic of tho Sergeants’ Concert)
Hail Now Zealand’s Third Division Victims of doubt and indecision? Sent upon a labourer’s mission To Pacific shore. First wo wandered off to Suva Hight as well have boon Vancouver? Now and then we hoard a rumour That we wore at war. See our shirts grow, older Torn'across the shoulder At our store There arc no more? And we grow daily colder. Heark unto our tragic story Ours is not tho p~th to glory? We know not tho battle gory Tho’ wo are at war.
To hell with party? sect and faction? We went nothing more than action 5 Hero we’re but- a minor fraction Of the U.S.A. In the Middle East our cobbers Smashed Von Rommel and his robbers While Bonito got the slobbers As ho ran away. Kiwis? march together Fair or foul the weather? But lot us go .n To fight the foe _ And we will show them whether We can fight for old New Zealand? Koop our flag bright o’er,our froe-land? So that when it’s ovor 9 we land SoJLdiqrs of the war.
