  • It was just before dawn
    One miserable morning in black forty four
    When the forward commander
    Was told to sit tight
    When he asked that his men be withdrawn
    And the Generals gave thanks
    As the other ranks held back
    The enemy tanks for a while
    And the Anzio bridgehead
    Was held for the price
    Of a few hundred ordinary lives
    And old King George
    Sent Mother a note
    When he heard that father was gone
    It was I recall
    In the form of a scroll
    With gold leaf and all
    And I found it one day
    In a drawer of old photographs hidden away
    And my eyes still grow damp to remember
    His Majesty signed
    With his own rubber stamp
    It was dark all around
    There was frost in the ground
    When the tigers broke free
    And no one survived
    From the Royal Fusiliers Company C
    They were all left behind
    Most of them dead
    The rest of them dying
    And that's how the High Command
    Took my daddy from me
