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 1893
The
Battle of Shangani
In
the First Matabele War
When
a British column
Was
attacked by a large force
Of
Matabele warriors.
The
British repulsed them
With
heavy loss of life
To
the Matabele force.
The
battle is best noted
For
being the first battle
In
which the Maxim gun
Was
used to great effect
