Veterans Day

[Sisco]

In honor of our veterans and our Allies Veterans.🇺🇸
Gaucho this came from Canada🇨🇦

The Men of the Enfield Gun
( in honor of Remembrance Day)

They come from the fields and forests
These men of the Enfield Gun
They were young, proud and defiant
And heroes every one

And they came from the towns and cities 
Uniting in a common cause
And they advanced over the bones of dead brothers 
Where lesser men would pause

And the screams of war came to them
These men of the Enfield Gun
Til the mind seemed to flee from the body
And the conscience of all said run

But they stood their ground with valour
For great men are seldom led
And Mother Earth that they clung to
Turned from brown to red

Many died, while others tried
As thunder from the Enfield rolled
For hard is this thing called glory
And elusive as the wind to hold

Their deeds are seldom mentioned
In war stories or in song
And like the years that are swiftly passing
Their memories move along

 But they walked the road to greatness
And they've seen the bowels of hell
The smiling band of soldiers 
From Canada I tell
