A Heroes Burial

Lay him by the tree stump he'll be shaded by the wall He might then rest forever not til next time Jerry call Lay him deep and cover him in stones as well as soil Our comrade is deserving of our labours and our toil For he today has saved us, his bravery unsurpassed He took the bullets for us and he battled to the last He was our shield and our weapon our leader and decoy He shall never see his medal nor his just born little boy But he shall know his comrades.... appreciated him Now heave those spades my boys and let the burial begin.
