Fallen Warriors

by James W. Richardson

What ghosts walk these hallowed hills,
Where once the cry of battle reigned?
Who are these smoky misty forms that
By their blood this ground was stained?

Their cry of pain floats on the wind.
Echoing from the ridge,
Calling for aid and comfort, but alas,
The spans too wide to bridge.

Only God can help these souls who have
Fallen at the line,
Build no monument to these men, this
Ground shall be their shrine.

Let angels hover above the trees and
Guard these men of yore,
Kiss their cheeks and soothe their brow,
For death shall be no more.


New Zealand Tomb of the Unknown Warrior

Kudos to all the brave soldiers. A pox on those that never even came close to serving in any military capacity, but DEMAND that they be given respect for something they were too cowardly to actually particpate in.

Status: offline 		I didn't know Americans or other nations even knew about ANZAC day let alone bothered to offer their support. I take my hat off (figuratively), the only ANZAC day I have spent overseas I was in Italy and it's their Liberation Day and therefore a day of celebration.

I've never felt anything like I felt walking through the gravestones in Gallipoli and finding the graves of my relatives. I would just like to congratulate the Turkish people for the monuments and sentiment felt there. It's true what they say, our men are now buried in friendly soil.
