White head stones in countless rows
Soldiers all from the Great War battles
Thousands dead now glory served
Each one a son and loved one
Victoria Cross engraved as heroes found
Known unto God a sad refrain written
On the stone "Their name liveth for Evermore"
A Christian Cross on top of a German pill-box
Sacrifice for the "War to End Wars" unfulfilled
A hundred years past but still it begs belief.
