War - Ww1 - The White Cross Poem by Paul Warren

A lot has been said
About the Great War Diggers
Their praise was well earnt
For they did more than
Their part in the war

The last hundred days
In the Advance to victory
Is underlined by their battles fought
And victories they won

Just outside of Peronne
After the Mont St Quentin victory
There was a white cross
Erected over a battle grave

On it was written the words
Clearly painted on the cross
"Here lie six Boche
They met a Digger."
