Poem
In Syria we fought the French in 1941... Foreign Legion and the Vichy French an 8 week war was won... After battle with the slaughter, many bodies where they lay... Don checked them as he oughta , found a gauntlet golden hey... Oh it glistened with its set stones of red and shiny blue... And Don's mates began to wonder could they get it off him too... A frog sniper from a tower was a shooting us today ... So we killed him with a Bren gun to his girlfriend's dismay.. Don went and checked the tower dragged down a Moslem priest... Caught him by his whiskers now, just a holy man at least ... The girl was still a wailing and cursing at Dons feet... as she kissed and held her lover, Don came down the street... Don then the pin released... So the gauntlet dropped beside her ... He couldn't help her with her grief... The gauntlet wanted neither... Safer with her was the gauntlet gold... She snavelled it so quick... (grabbed) On the priest still the whisker hold.... His blood she still did lick?.... Don got this souviner on the battlefield amongst the dead, some might have killed him to get it... Aussies including Don Johnson 2/25th Btn. (As he told me) .Fought the French Foreign , Vichy French and Syrian Arab people for 8 weeks in 1941. People from the Indian Army and the Poms were there too at the finish......Don Johnson .....At this place Don and George Gibson saw where a young woman and child had been killed by the same bayonet stroke . George pointed to the cross around her neck and said to Don the little ju ju didn't save her? Don said the Arabs were selling fresh meat in the street covered with flies to other Arabs and the flies were still having a party on the many dead, so they held guns on the Arabs and made them bury the dead which were being ignored ...http://www.scullywag.com/kokoda1942stoush/
