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
