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
death’s
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
