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
