The Ode To Us 213th, Field Artillery Battalion's Triumph At The 2nd Gapyeong-Battle Poem by Kinsley Lee

The Ode To Us 213th, Field Artillery Battalion's Triumph At The 2nd Gapyeong-Battle

Suddenly outer cover unit disappeared,
So they're in sticky situation but never bewildered.
The assailants were seven times, as enemy
And the defender were without the cover of infantry,

Frank ordered, 'Nobody sleeps tonight'.
It's spring and they're waking at starry night.
Like ants Chinese assaulted in dark night
They defended by shelling and hand and hand fight

The enemies withdrew hills and vales,
Here and there, on the corpses, there're gales.
All of the battalion fought with one
Mind, at last many of the captives, they won.

The battalion, there're no war dead
At the battle. Real story! It's a miracle! It's said
That under a year, Frank Rally, the Commander,
Whose blonde, but returned home only white hair.
