BOMBER COMMAND

 

At last they are remembered

In marble and bronze

In Green Park they stand

The forgotten band of brothers

Silent yet speaking aloud

Of honours unsung

These brave men

Held in contempt

By the very politicians

Who sent them to their deaths

Shunned by Churchill

In the cold light of peace

These forgotten heroes

Of an unpopular campaign

These warriors on the wing

They didn’t question

They didn’t ask why us

They went where they were sent

And half never returned
