St Crispin’s day has been
A bloody day in history
Famous for being a day
When battles were fought
High in the cost of life
Among these, in 1944
The Battle of Leyte Gulf
In the Pacific theatre
Of World War Two
Fought in the waters
Of the Philippine Islands
Off Cape Engaño, Samar Island
And in the Straits of Surigao
The largest naval combat
In history, between
The Navy’s of the Japanese
And the United States
When the Japanese fleet
Was comprehensive destroyed
